World strongest animals

Different animals have different kinds of strength: some

have pure brute strength and are capable of lifting, dragging,

carrying or pulling enormous weights. But to understand how

strong an animal really is, we need to consider its size and

weight, discovering that the small ones are much stronger

than we expected.

Draw a line from the text to

the corresponding animals

to discover which ones are

stronger.

Dung Beetle

A dung beetle is not only the

world’s strongest insect but

also the strongest animal on

the planet compared to body

weight. They can roll dung balls

which are 1,141 times their body

weight. This is just like a person

pulling six buses full of people.

Rhinoceros Beetle

Rhinoceros Beetles can lift

850 times their weight. If

you had the strength of the

rhinoceros beetle, you would

be able to lift 850 kids.

Leafcutter ant

These tiny ants can lift and carry

in their jaws 1 50 times their

body weight. That’s the same as

a human lifting a truck with its

teeth!

Gorilla

A gorilla with its large arms

can lift 2,000 kg (as a big car),

over 10 times their body weight.
