When it comes to body weight the strongest animal is the Dung Beetle.

Dung Beetles can pull 1,141 times their own body weight.

Dung beetles are beetles that feed on feces. Some species of dung beetles can bury dung 250 times their own mass in one night.

Many dung beetles, known as rollers, roll dung into round balls, which are used as a food source or breeding chambers.

Others, known as tunnelers, bury the dung wherever they find it.

However the strongest animal other than an insect is the elephant.

Elephants are very strong animals that can lift about 770 pounds with their trunks alone.

They can also carry over 2,100 pounds (1 ton) on their backs – about 21 times the human lift force.

Elephants also have an impressive bite force of over 2,175 PSI.

An Asian elephant has more than 150,000 muscle units in its trunk alone, and this level of power allows it to easily uproot fully grown trees or forcefully spray up to a gallon of water.

In addition, elephants can carry up to 14,000 pounds, which is 7 tons.

The elephant is the largest land-based mammal with the greatest reaching weights of 13,000 pounds.

That is quite amazing enough.

These elephants can also tow up to 18,000 pounds.

An elephant is also stronger than a Gorilla.

An elephant would win in a fight against a gorilla.

Gorillas are certainly powerful and smart animals, but they lack any definitive means of killing an elephant.

Unless they happened upon an elephant lying down and managed to inflict severe bites to them, a gorilla simply would not stand a chance.
