Nature Corner/Storybook Room

  Nature Corner/Storybook Room for Saturday morning, September 19, 2026

Duke the Dung Beetle stops in to say "hello" to Uncle Bob Devine. Duke is often referred to as the garbageman of Africa. He and thousands of other beetles like himself clean up the animal waste lying on the ground. He will eat the undigested plant material in the waste and bury the rest. That buried waste will fertilize the African grasslands giving animals like zebras tall, healthy plants to eat. 

Now, let's hear from Duke as he tells us more about himself.
