Animals are capable of impressive feats. In the photo gallery we present six of the strongest animals in the world. Better not to mess with these powerhouses.

The animal kingdom has an almost endless number of fascinating creatures to offer, including, of course, particularly strong creatures. One of the strongest animals in the world is the gorilla. The muscular primate can lift over 2,000 kilograms, which is ten times its own weight. The African elephant is also not weak on the chest. 9,000 kilograms are no problem for the pachyderm. However, the elephant itself weighs around 6,200 kilos.
Eagle: The strongest animal in the air
The anaconda also has concentrated power to offer. The large snake can choke to death animals up to 250 kilograms in weight. Capybaras or caimans are therefore definitely on her menu. In the air nobody can fool the eagle. The king of the skies can grab other animals that weigh four times as much as him and still keep flying happily.
Dung Beetle: Drags a thousand times its own weight
Again in the countryside, the ox is a real muscleman: the livestock manages 900 kilograms and thus one and a half times its weight. Finally, an admittedly somewhat strange powerhouse, namely a dung beetle. The insect actually manages to drag a thousand times its own weight around.
