Said to be the strongest creature
on Earth, relative to its proportional size, the
five horned rhino beetle can carry up to 850 times
its bodyweight. Many people, especially
in Asia, keep these intricately horned creatures
as pets. In fact, one of the largest beetles
to in Southern Africa is a rhinoceros beetle
(Scarabaeinae dynastinae).
Both male and female rhino beetles are horned,
but only the males are known to use their horned
heads aggressively to fight their rivals. Rhino
beetles also use their horns
to dig, climb and mate with females. Once you've
added a five horned rhino beetle to your wall
everyone will know you mean business! |
