Hornbill is one of the largest beetle species in the world and is a nocturnal animal (active at night). During the day, they hide under tree trunks to avoid predators. Proportionately, the horn beetle is the strongest animal on earth. They can lift up to 850 times their own weight.

Only the male beetles have horns. The size of the horn is an indicator of the physical health of the male beetle. Male horn beetles use their horns in battles over food and territory to attract the attention of females. The losing opponent is not trying to be pursued and there is no mutual killing or injury. Horns can also be used to dig up the soil and bury themselves in the ground, hiding from harm. The horn beetle has wings and can be used for flying.
Due to its cool appearance, clean, easy maintenance, and pitted, horn beetles are often used as children's pets, especially in Japan. The price of the female hornbill / beetle beetle is cheaper because it has no horns.
Horned beetle is related to Beetle Beetle / Deer Beetle Beetle / Stag Beetle from Lucanidae family. The frightening big caps that the deer beetle possess can not perfectly close and are used only as a means of attracting the opposite sex or for grappling with other males.
