10 Abnormally STRONG Animals That Actually Exist!
In the animal kingdom, one needs every advantage to survive. Some rely on speed, some on
camouflage, while others rely on brute strength. Today we will be taking a look at 10 abnormally strong
animals that actually exist. Numbers four all the way to one will definitely surprise you so stay tuned for
those.

Number 10. The Ostrich
Most people know that ostriches are the largest birds alive today. Some people may know that they are
the heaviest birds alive today. But something that you might not know is that they are in the running for
being the strongest bird today.
Discounting ostriches as one of the strongest is an easy thing to do. I mean, just look at them, tall and
lanky, standing on two legs so spindly that it’s quite surprising they can manage to bear the birds weight.
But the fact is, this flightless bird’s legs are immensely strong. Strong enough to propel the bird’s 320 lb
frame up to 40 miles per hour.
And being flightless birds, they needed to learn how to fight unless they want to become easy meals for
any predator. And with their wings pretty much useless, ostriches fight with their feet. Their kicks are so
powerful that according to the American Ostrich Association, one solid front kick from an ostrich can
instantly kill a full grown lion.

Number 9. The King Snake
When talking about the strongest snakes, anacondas and boa constrictors are always in the mix. These
large powerful constrictors wrap around their prey and literally squeeze the life out of them. But a
recent study has shown that their constricting power doesn’t even come close to the next entry on our
list, the king snake.
Not to be mistaken for the king cobra, king snakes, like anacondas and boas, are constrictors and have
no venom. They are a lot smaller though, usually preferring to hunt prey smaller than itself, but it does
have the ability to take down significantly larger prey. But unlike anacondas and boas, it’s preferred prey
are various reptiles and amphibians, including other snakes. This penchant for hunting and eating its
own kind is the reason why the king snake got its name.
It’s this love for hunting mostly cold blooded animals that gave scientists a clue on how strong the king
snake is. Since they found out that constrictors actually kill by cutting off the prey’s blood supply to the
brain, not by suffocation as what was previously believed, king snakes needed to have a stronger grip
since cold blooded animals require less oxygen to the brain.
When finally tested in the lab, king snakes were found to exert twice the pressure compared to other
constrictors of the same size, thus making it the pound for pound strongest snake in the world.

Number 8. The Grizzly Bear

The Grizzly bear is definitely one among most massive and powerful animals in the world. They can be
found in various areas across Canada and Northwestern United States. They can reach a maximum
height of 8 feet and weigh up to 780 lbs.
Grizzlies are monstrously strong. Someone estimated they have the strength of up to six men, but even
that seems way too conservative. Grizzlies have broad bodies with seasonally varied amounts of fat, but
always powered by huge ropes of muscle. Even a 100-pound cub would probably be more than twice as
strong as the strongest, biggest male power athlete. In addition to being loaded with fast twitch
muscles, they have a mechanical advantage due to their muscles inserting lower on the bone on which
they pull than the comparable human body parts.
They also have strong teeth and their bite force measure 1200 pounds per square inch. Such a sharp bite
could even crush a bowling ball.
Massively strong and highly aggressive, pray that you don’t encounter one the next time you go camping
out in the woods.

Number 7. The Ox
I know that you’ve heard of the phrase “as strong as an ox” at least once in your life, but do you know
how strong these animals actually are?
But first, here’s a fun fact. There really isn’t an ox. Oxen as we call them, don’t actually belong to a
different species of bovine like cows and buffalos. They are simply either dairy bulls or meat bulls, that
are castrated and trained as calves to do one thing; pull heavy loads.
And pull heavy loads they can. The biggest oxen can weigh up to 3000 lbs, and it can pull a little over its
weight. But a pair of these muscular beasts will be able to pull more than twice their combined weight.
That’s around 13,000 lbs.
