We ran across this little guy in a pile of manure. It is a Dung Beetle, which collects balls of manure. I believe they use them to harbor their eggs, but I'm not exactly sure.

They are sure fun to watch while they chew out the round balls.
They make them round enough to roll back to their nest. It's like a barrel roll. They get on top of the ball and use their feet to roll it back home.
