Rhinoceros Beetle

Rhinoceros Beetle

Posted by Wesley Fleming on 12/12/2007
 Featured by Robert Koch Glass
Rhinoceros beetles are the strongest animals on the planet, proportionally. They can lift up to 850 times their own weight. To put this into perspective, if a human of average height and weight had the strength of the rhinoceros beetle, it would be able to lift a 65 ton object, for example, an Abrams Tank.

Made of Effetre glass on a Nortel Minor. Measures about 2.5" x 2" x 1"
