Scorpions are creatures part

of the arachnid family which have pincers like crabs and a 

long tail-like stomach with a venomous and usually fatal

stinger at the end.

Scorpions are also usually found in

warm regions such as deserts or 

even jungles since they are cold-blooded creatures.

Scorpions have 8 legs just

like spiders, this is most likely

the reason how they are 

arachnids, though their legs

aren't quite used for anything

special other than to walk.

One thing you may know about these

arachnids is that they are mostly active

during the night hunting for smaller insects like crickets to snack on.

When mother scorpions give

birth, the babies climb onto

her back for safety.

The mother will crawl away

from any insects that may

try harming them. 

Like other bugs and animals, 

scorpions come in many variants,

this type of scorpion shown is the

"Emperor Scorpion"

This scorpion is called the "Deathstalker scorpion" and is found 

in the Middle East and North

Africa.

This variant is called the "Giant hairy scorpion" and is found in the deserts of

the Southwestern United States, including

Arizona, California, Nevada and Utah.
