2010/04/06 Kortabitarte Egiguren, Irati - Elhuyar Zientzia

Onthophagus taurus beetle is the most powerful insector in the world in a study published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B. This beetle is able to lift or hold 1.141 times its weight.

Researchers at the University of London have assessed the ability of these beetles to beat their rivals for coverage. And they need a lot of strength to do it.
