Crazy skill: super strength!
Crazy Skill:
Super Strength
Don’t be fooled. It may be an insect, but this beetle can still pack a punch!
Incredibly, it can lift up to 850 times its own weight – which is like you giving 850 people a piggyback ride at the same time!
Rhinoceros beetles look pretty fearsome, too.
The males have a huge horn on their head, which they use as a weapon during battles with other males.
These two are trying to flip each other over!
They may look scary, but rhinoceros beetles can’t sting or bite, and in some parts of Asia, they’re even kept as pets!
