A subfamily of beetles specialized in feeding on dung; includes many important dung beetle species.
From Greek kopros (dung) + -inae (subfamily suffix in taxonomy), classifying beetles adapted to consume and process feces.
Dung beetles in the Coprinae subfamily can consume their body weight in poop daily and generate incredible force pushing balls of dung underground—they're basically the world's tiniest garbage trucks with superpowers.
