Blocknosed Beetle

This is a member of the beetle family that can only be found in southern Zimbabwe. It has a glossy black shell and its flat, wide head which is its prominent feature. This creature will build very deep tunnels in the dirt. It will then use its head to pack down the side of the walls. If anyone tries to come into the tunnel it will either bite them using concealed yet rather large pincers or force it out using its body. It mostly eats insects smaller than itself.
