Like a story from a bizarre and twisted pulp novel - a couple finds a dead body, then under the cover of darkness, secret it away in a safe place and then feed the remains to their babies. It almost sounds too gruesome to be true, until you realize that it's a large carrion beetle performing the essential task of breaking down "nature's garbage," by recycling carcasses and controlling fly populations.
Hear from Bob Merz, zoological manager of invertebrates, about the Zoo's conservation work with the American burying beetle.
