It grips prey with its pincers until the prey is torn in half. What it can’t tear, it tosses far.

With its pincer horns, it digs burrows to sleep in at night. In the morning, damp soil clings to its body.

It swings its long pincer horns wildly to attack. During cold periods, it hides deep in forests.
