Interesting fact : The titan beetle is the second largest beetle in the world.
With a body length of almost 6.5 inches, the titan beetle has short curved mandibles that are known to have immense strength. The titan beetle can snap a pencil in half or even cut into human flesh with its mandibles. When threatened, the titan beetle hisses as a warning and then bites if necessary. As an adult, the titan beetle does no eat. It instead spends its time searching for a mate.
