If you are thinking of the world’s strongest animal, the image of an elephant probably comes to mind. But as it turns out the world’s strongest animal is the horned dung beetle, which can pull around 1114 times it’s own weight, that’s the equivalent of humans carrying a small plane. So it makes sense to crown the dung beetle as the strongest insect in the world and crown it as the strongest animal on Earth compared to its body size and weight.
