Giant horns, oddly enough, do not interfere with the rhinoceros beetle flying

Huge outstanding "horns" are male rhinoceros beetles way to demonstrate their attractiveness to females. But any "decorations" should be somewhat offset, in other words, the owners are losing some useful skills such as the ability to fly, or they have to eat more, or something else like that.

When researchers at the University of Montana decided to find out what impact the ability of the horn rhinoceros beetles fly, they were shocked - it turned out that way. Rhinoceros beetle can easily fly 50 km without stopping in spite of all the laws of aerodynamics. How he does it, still remains a mystery, and in the course of this study it was not possible to fully understand.
