This roller's injured his leg in a near-fatal run-in with a monitor lizard.
A bandit spots his weakness. The injured roller has the high ground, but it's not enough.
Dung beetles never give up. With only one strong leg, he's wasting precious energy.
He survived the lizard. He can't lose it all now. The thief is down for the count.
Amazingly, the injured roller keeps his prize.
