*** About Scorpions: Scorpions are predatory arachnids of the order Scorpiones. They are easily recognized by their pair of grasping pincers and a narrow, segmented tail, often carried in a characteristic forward curve over the back and ending with a venomous stinger. Scorpions are found on all major land masses except Antarctica and have adapted to a wide range of environmental conditions. They are particularly prevalent in desert regions where their tough exoskeletons help to prevent water loss. Interesting in their physiology and behavior, scorpions are often subjects of study in both toxinology and astrology, the latter due to the constellation named Scorpius, inspired by these intriguing creatures.
