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. The horn can also be used to dig the ground and bury themselves in the ground, hiding from danger. The horn beetles have wings and can be used for flying.
