Reports suggest the Hercules beetle is able to carry up to 850 times its body mass. Actual measurements on a much smaller (and relatively stronger: see square-cube law) species of rhinoceros beetle shows a carrying capacity only up to 100 times their body mass, at which point they can barely move. The fantasticness of the given indicator is easily explained by the confusion in the order of the number presented. It should be read 85.0, and then everything comes in accordance with the said law.
