Field Notes

Habitat:

I found this specimen in my militar barracks, on a region of transition between the Cerrado and Atlantic Florest.

Notes:

It has a great strength. Inclusive, when I took it in hand, he held my finger between his horns, to the point of to stick it.

I really had never seen a "Rhino Beetle" with a horn so big like that.
