BarriosThe strongest living creature is the Rhinoceros Beetle,
found in the jungles of Costa Rica. It can support
up to 850 times it’s own body weight, equivalent to
a human carrying about 70 tons (tonnes).For many years it was thought that the sharks in
Lake Nicaragua were a unique freshwater species.
However, research has shown that they are in fact
Bull Sharks that have swum 120 miles (190 km) up
the San Juan River from the Caribbean Sea.
