oryctes aloeus

Oryctes aloeus live in small tightly knit family groups made up of mothers, daughters, sister, aunts and on occasion submissive males. Living on relatively barren tundra, their metabolism is relatively slow to make up for the lack of food, especially during the harsh winter months. Their front mono-leg allows for them to stand on their hind legs with support and leverage, to reach food out of reach of its extendable neck, A unique adaptation is their “antifreeze” blood that visibly courses through its major artery along its body. This antifreeze blood produces so much heat that it physically emanates from its body. Tiny lucerna colonies make the Oryctes aloeus their host, never straying to far. a symbiotic relationship the lucerna gain heat and protection from the Oryctes aloeus, in return for feeding on parasites and dead tissue
