Rhino Beetle
About the Rhino Beetle
Among the strongest animals on Earth - they can lift 850 times their own body weight. Their horns are used for digging, fighting, and climbing. In Thailand and Japan, rhino beetle fighting is a popular sport. They are completely harmless to humans despite their intimidating appearance. Their exoskeleton changes color when wet due to microstructural changes. Larvae develop in compost and rotting wood for 1-2 years. Over 1,500 species worldwide.
