Q&A

Is it possible for a creature around 500-600 pounds (226-272 kg) lift around 2 tons (1814 kg)?

+0

Okay, I have a bipedal creature around 500 to 600 pounds (226 - 272 kg), and I wanted it to lift around 2 tons (1814 kg), preferably over its head, and throw the weight about 10 feet (3 meters) on Earth. I was wondering if this was possible, and if so, what kind of body plan it would have.

I'd imagine it would be difficult to get this result, due to the bones having to support that much weight.

The weight is an average car, if you need help visualizing it.
