Parts of the Sahara desert have flooded for the first time in decades. Severe rainfall in September over the Moroccan Sahara has left the desert sand dunes inundated. Some areas of southeastern Morocco saw more than a year’s worth of rainfall in just two days. According to experts the area is not usually affected by rainfall from the Inter Tropical Front, which usually affects the Malian and Mauritanian Sahara. | BBC News Africa

Introducing the African Dung Beetle — the desert’s tiniest tradie. We caught this wee legend absolutely going to town on a hole, digging like he’s trying to reach New Zealand by lunchtime. The enthusiasm? Unmatched. The technique? Questionable at best. The commitment? 11/10 Fun fact: these fellas can dig up to 250 times their own body weight in sand.
