What is the strongest mammal in the world?

Question

What is the strongest mammal in the world?

Answer 1

It depends on what you mean by "strongest".  A blue whale is certainly the largest mammal, and has the largest muscle mass.  However, if you judge strength by the ability to lift a heavy object off the ground, a whale is clearly not going to win any competitions.

Answer 2

my friend says its an elephant

Answer 3

It is surely a whale, but not necessarily the largest one.  Although it is less than half the size of a blue whale (Balenoptera muscalus), my vote is for the Pacific gray whale (Eschrichtius robustus), because although both have muscles 4 feet thick, the blue whale apparently uses its tail only for swimming, while gray whales use their tails as weapons.

What's so bad about gray whales' tails?  Gray whales could stay safely out of range of a whaler's muskets and pistols and fling the bodies of its crew so high and so far that they would get tangled up in the ship's rigging on the way down, and one slammed the body of a man so hard against the side of his own solid-oak whaling ship that it caved in and the ship sank in seconds.

Killer whales (Orcinas orca) are the only large animals that kill gray whales, and gray whales are the only large animals that kill killer whales.  Actually, they are about evenly matched, but only because orcas never ever use their built-in sonic weapon against other cetaceans.  But for that apparently culturally-induced limitation, orcas would be able to kill gray whales without even getting close to them.

Answer 4

The elephant is the strongest land mammal simply because of it's size.  

A marine mammal such as a blue whale, however, is the largest mammal in the world.  

If your not looking for proportionate strength the blue whale is the strongest animal in the world.

The humpback whale is not a fish it is a mammal and is most likely the strongest mammal in the world

Answer 11

It's rhinoceros beetle... The basis is the capacity of an animal to lift an object in comparison to its body weight

Imagine it can lift a weight 13 times of its own weight

(can whale, elephant or gorilla can do that?)
