If, after seeing the video, you’d like to get yourself such a cute pet, mind the fact that it will stay as larva for 1,5-2 years, then for 6 months as nymph and only then it will turn into a beetle for some 6 months more.
Most of its 160-175 mm length is its giant horn, and it’s called Hercules for a reason – it can lift weights up to 8,5 kg while its own weight is around 100 g!
