As cooperative as a dung beetle but not necessarily smarter


Scientists have discovered that dung beetles are the only creatures that cooperate like  humans in moving an object to over come obsticals. (Guardian 17 January).
Which presumably reinforces the view that we humans top the evolutionary development scale when it comes to intelligence. Unfortunately this fact only served to bring to mind that comedy song ,” Right Said Fred” by Bernard Cribbins in which  three men unsuccessfully try to move a large piece of furniture from an upstairs room. And drink lots of cups of tea. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQ6LXJCp9IU
