What is a Scorpion?

Scorpions are small animals with eight legs, two big claws, and a curved tail that ends in a stinger. They belong to the arachnid family, just like spiders. Scorpions live in deserts, forests, and rocky places all over the world. Most scorpions are active at night and hide during the day under rocks or sand. They eat insects, spiders, and sometimes even small lizards. A scorpion uses its claws to catch food and its tail to defend itself. While they might look scary, most scorpions are not dangerous to people. Their hard outer shell helps protect them from hot sun and predators. Scorpions have been around for millions of years and are experts at surviving in tough environments, making them one of the most amazing creatures in the desert!
