the strongest animal in the world

Today we got a new visitor at the library, the strongest animal in the world - the rhinoceros beetle came to visit.

I know what you're thinking... A beetle cannot be the strongest animal in the world, surely an elephant is much stronger. Well yes, but, an elephant con only lift about 25% of its own weight. In comparison, a rhino beetle can lift 850 times its own weight! Can you imagine?? For a chubby farang like me weighing in at 80 kg (175 lbs) I would have to lift 68,000 kg (145,000 lbs)! Oi!

He's been an active member of the staff so far. Quite smart and incredibly strong. He's escaped from his box twice already and goes PSSS, PSSS when he's scared. So far the staff has declined on finding him some food to eat - buffalo poop. We might try some rotten fruit instead...
