Rhino Beetle

The rhino beetle is one of nature's most powerful creatures, capable of lifting up to 850 times its own body weight – the equivalent of a human lifting 65 tons. Named for the distinctive horn-like structures on males' heads, these armored insects use their incredible strength for digging, climbing, and battling rivals for mates. Found in tropical forests worldwide, rhino beetles play vital ecological roles in decomposition and soil health. Despite their intimidating appearance, they're harmless to humans and have become popular in insect exhibitions, showcasing nature's remarkable engineering at miniature scale.
