In proportion to their size the strongest animals are the LARGER BEETLES of the family SCARABAEIDAE, which are found mainly in tropics. In tests carried out on a rhinoceros beetle of the family Dynastinae, it was found that it could support 850 times its own weight on its back (cf. 25 per cent of its body weight for an elephant).
