Strength Alone

Strength Alone​

One swipe from a tiger’s claw could kill you instantaneously. Meanwhile, grizzly bears have more strength in one paw than we do in our whole bodies, and gorillas can lift up to four times their own body weight. The world’s strongest animals are fearsome and for the most part predictable, but at the top of this formidable list is one that might surprise you: elephants.

Strength can be difficult to define. There is strength relative to body weight, and then there is the sheer weight they are able to lift. By the latter measurement, African bush elephants are the most powerful land animal by far, just for being able to lift their own body weight: 6,000 kg or 13,228 lbs. But power is not always synonymous with predation; the world’s strongest animal is also an herbivore.
