it's easy to imagine that the biggest animal would naturally be the strongest
animals of all but the factual reality is far more jaw-dropping some of the
strongest animals have different measures of strength and one would
assume an ant cannot possibly be stronger than the mighty elephant but
wonders of the strength these animals bear might shock you here are 10
strongest animals in the world number 10 the gorilla one of our closest
relatives Shari 95 to 99 percent of our DNA gorillas are the heaviest primates
they are known for their impeccable strength and can reach a height of up to
6 feet and weigh up to 450 pounds their arms are their strongest pursuit as they
can carry about two tons worth of weight ten times more than their body weight
they use their knuckles to walk around and lean all their heavy weight on them
as they swing from branches and climb high trees developing more strength in
their arms in fact an adult gorillas 15 to 20 times stronger than a human being

amazing luck number nine the anaconda our next pick sticks to the ground like
a creepy crawler with a mouth big enough to unhinge and swallow a whole human
being according to popular movie culture however chances of an anaconda actively
looking for a human as their prey and slithering towards them at a speed they
can outrun is unlikely the anaconda is the heaviest snake of all the snakes
there are 4 different species of anaconda the green anaconda yellow
anaconda darky spotted anaconda and bolivian anaconda the green one is the
largest and heaviest in the world which can grow up to 30 feet in length and a
whopping 277 kilograms and wait they are non-venomous constrictors and
to kill their prey they twist their heavy bodies around their next meal like
a coil and drain the life out of them then hitch their jaws and swallow their
whole prey after fixating them and do not need eat lunch
again for at least a week sometimes a month adult anacondas can feed on large
prey like wild pigs Jaguars and Caymans number eight the tiger Tigers are the
largest members of the cat family yes your cat knows some big guns they
are strong ferocious and deadly another fear-inducing factor is their speed at
night which can reach speeds of 40 miles per hour
try outrunning that buddy there are 10 known species of Tigers three of which
are sadly extinct Siberian tigers are amongst the largest species 75 to 91
inches in length and up to 306 kilograms and wait tigers are powerful nocturnal
predators being at the top of the food chain and capable of killing animals
over twice their size such in that they carry the weight of prey twice their
body mass their canines are no joke either they can reach lengths of up to
four inches they can literally tear flesh apart like you can rip a piece of
paper in half number seven the grizzly bear the adult grizzly bear is anything
but cuddly as they were as mere cubs there's a reason they are the most
massive and powerful animals in the world
a grizzly bear can reach a maximum height of about eight feet and weigh up
to a mass of 775 pounds did you know that the popular strategy of playing
dead to avoid being mauled to death is not true for all bears in fact if you're
under attack by a black bear do not play dead try to run and fight off the bear
as much as you can on the contrary when in contact with a grizzly bear you are
advised to lay flat on your stomach and play dead but in case the bear does not
look more threatening and still in the mood to fight run they have a gigantic
head 6 inch claw and heavy muscular hump they also have pretty strong teeth
and their bite forces measures about 1,200 pounds per square inch
for comparison the human jaw strength is 162 pounds per square inch wouldn't want
to be caught headfirst in that mouth they can even crush
bowling balls like crisps yikes grizzly bears are easily agitated
and almost always attack whatever may pose a threat to them or their cubs in a
fight with pretty much any animal the opposition does not walk free number six
the ox as strong as an ox a real compliment to have been told since oxen
are pretty savage when it comes to playing against their own weight as they
can carry or drag about 2,000 pounds of weight nearly 1.5 times their own body
weight pretty neat right this is the reason oxen are recorded in history
since about 4000 BC as an animal a proper strength used for carrying heavy
objects more than other draft animals despite their crazy strength they are
known for their calm demeanor they are a symbol of stability and determination
while being in their own Zen zone males fight for the right to breed with
females through strutting swinging their heads and eventually charging one
another head-on the sound produced after hitting one another at around 32 miles
per hour can be heard almost a mile away with the strength they're packing it's
not surprising that males give up after six to twelve hits on the head if you
learned something new don't forget to smash the like and subscribe buttons
number five the Eagle there's a reason why Eagles are on top of the food chain
there are some of the biggest birds out there with some catching huge prey such
as monkeys and sloths they have an amazing eyesight and can spot prey up to
two miles away they have muscular feet hook beaks and very sharp talons their
strength lies mainly in their wing as they can fly to heights of around 10 to
15,000 feet Eagles can fly without resting for hours and unlike most birds
thrive in storms as the high winds help them fly even higher with this strength
they can swoop up their prey to absurd Heights and carry them to their nest to
devour site is perhaps the strongest of its senses the eyes are huge compared to
the size of their head and can take up almost 50% of the size of the head their
eyes can even weigh the same amount as the human eye
an eagle's vision is about four to five times better compared to ours Eagles
eyes are angled about 30 degrees moving away from center of the face granting
them a greater field of view my pick for today starred in a very popular Disney
movie as a kid that bean number for the elephant these gentle giants are the
most intelligent and largest living land animals there are two species of
elephants including the Asian and African elephants among which the
African elephant is a largest mammal in the world they are stronger than the
Asian elephants and could measure 8 to 13 feet in height and up to 7 tonnes
whereas there carry potential is up to 9 tons of weight their trunks are so
strong yet delicate in their control as they can carry calves and even pluck a
flower without crushing it their trunk can manage to carry 200 kilograms of
weight the other species can weigh up to 60 350 kilograms and they could carry
9,000 kilograms that's the weight of approximately 130 humans their ears are
huge as well adding to their heavy image they're strong long tusks can tear
through and dig in hard soil they are immensely strong but have the most
human-like tendencies when it comes to their relationships with their family
members they are the epitome of delicateness and stability coming from a
list mainly consisting of rather large animals we come down to our top three
strongest animals that may truly shock you from how small they are number three
the leaf cutter ant and ant truly is an all worthy creature that roams the earth
and despite being only less than one inch in length the leaf cutter ant can
carry objects 50 times heavier than their own weight for reference that's
the same as a human being able to carry a truck by their teeth even though there
are very small creatures they have a greater cross-sectional area of muscles
than larger animals they also have immense jaw power as they can vibrate
their jaw muscles Adam a thousand times per second which helps
them move heavier objects with ease even if their name suggests they may eat
leaves they only carry the leaves to use as fertilizer for cultivating fungi in
their very elaborated underground creations number two the rhinoceros
beetle considering their size and the amount of weight they can carry it
brings a rhinoceros beetle to a second place on this list they can carry
objects with a weight of about 850 times their own mass which is like the human
equivalent of 65 tons of weight if an elephant could be used to put in some
perspective it is as if the mighty elephant can carry about 850 elephants
on its back that is stagnant these creepy crawlers can be up to two and a
half inches in length and are actually the largest group of beetles in the
world these giant bugs will also use their horns to push stuff around or even
defend themselves from predators number one the dung beetles as the king
of all strength measuring only half an inch long these beetle are the
strongest creatures on the earth when comparing body mass as crazy as it
sounds the male of this species of insects can lift objects that are eleven
hundred and forty times heavier than their body weight in comparison it's
just like an average sized human carrying 15 elephants on its back
dung beetles develop such extraordinary strength due to the competition they
must have in order to make they use their sharp thorn like horns to fight
with potential rivals as such these fights help the dung beetles to improve
their immense strength as suggested by their name the diverse group of dung
beetles feed on the wastes of animals they are found on all continents except
Antarctica there are about 3 main groups of dung beetles namely dwellers
tunnellers and rollers the rollers are indicated by their name shape the dung
into balls and roll it back to the holes they live in the tunnelers dig a tunnel
to store the dung they find and the dwellers of the dung beetle family dwell
inside the dung piles thank you for watching if you like this video click
