Who do you think is the strongest animal in the world? Tiger, lion or elephant? If you compare the weight ratio of the object to the body, the smaller animals may be the strongest. Let us take a look at the strongest animals in the world!
Miniature Hercules-Oribatid
Although small, the mites are among the strongest men. It has a circular shell, shaped like a water drop, only 0.2 to 1.4 mm long, which is generally difficult to observe with the naked eye. Its weight is only about 100 micrograms, but it can withstand a pulling force equivalent to 1,180 times its body weight; moreover, the weight of objects it can pull with its claws is 540 times its own body weight, which is equivalent to a person pulling a space shuttle.
The brawny man pushing the dung ball-dung beetle
Dung beetles, also called dung beetles, their source of nourishment is feces, and they often roll dung balls on the ground. They are nature’s scavengers. Dung beetles are small in size, ranging from 5 to 30 millimeters in length. Under normal circumstances, they can move a ball of dung 50 times their own weight. In experiments, scientists found that male dung beetles can even push objects equivalent to 1,141 times their own weight, which is like driving six double-decker buses full of passengers by one person.
Large Insect Rescuer-Pterodactylidae
It is not only the longest beetle in the world, but also one of the largest flying insects in nature. The longest worm can reach 181 mm and weigh 150 grams. Records show that P. halberdii can lift heavy objects 850 times its own body weight with its long horns. E. halberdii likes to eat rotten food, such as rotting wood or fruit, and this preference makes it a booster of natural material circulation.
Lifting weights with your mouth-leaf-cutting ants
Leaf-cutter ants use their mouths to bite, collect and move blades, and the weight of these blades is often 20-50 times their weight, which is equivalent to a person pulling a truck with their teeth. When the leaf-cutting ants transport the leaf fragments to the underground ant nest, they will use these leaves as a field to “plant” a large fungus garden on it, and these fungi are the food for the leaf-cutting ants.
Gentle weightlifter-mountain gorilla
They are the tallest primate in the world and one of the smallest populations on earth. Today there are only about 1,000 mountain gorillas left in the world. They are huge, weighing 150-180 kg, and males can reach 1.5-1.8 meters when standing. They can lift 2,000 kilograms, which is more than 10 times their own body weight, equivalent to the weight of 30 people. Although strong and powerful, mountain gorillas are gentle and shy. Among stable groups of orangutans, serious aggressive behaviors rarely occur. When conflicts occur, they mostly use threatening behaviors to frighten each other.
Flying Hercules-African Crown Eagle
The African Crown Sculpture is 0.8 to 0.9 meters long and weighs 2.7 to 4.7 kg. It is a powerful and aggressive hunter and is considered the most powerful eagle in Africa. Because of its extremely large claws and strong legs, the African crown eagle can directly crush the skull of its prey with its legs and claws, hunting monkeys and even small antelopes. They can also fly 16 kilograms of weight, which is equivalent to 4 times of their own weight.
The king of beasts is also a strongman-tiger
The tiger, the king of beasts, is one of the largest and strongest cats with a length of 3.38 meters and a weight of 261 kg. Scientists have discovered that a tiger can lift up to 550 kilograms, which is equivalent to twice its own weight. Sometimes, it can smash the skull of a cow with a wave of its claws.
