Scientists have uncovered the world's strongest bug: a dung beetle,
the Onthophagus taurus, which can carry 1,142 times it body weight.
That's equal to a 150-pound person lifting six double-decker buses
filled with people. Scientists tested this species of beetle for
months, trying to determine the exact weight it could carry along
with their habits. Their recent findings have been published in the
journal "Proceedings of the Royal Society B."
