The scorpion has a body divided into 2 parts. The front part (prosoma) is covered with a shell, and includes 2 median eyes and ten lateral eyes, 8 legs, a pair of pincers for the capture of prey, as well as a mouth surrounded by a pair of chelicerae (jaws), which form a kind of hook that the scorpion uses to eat its prey. The rear part (opisthosoma) includes an abdomen formed
of 7 segments and a long tail composed of 5 segments ending in the anus and a very pointed stinger.
we can find the scorpion on the 5 continents, in savannas, forests, especially in deserts, and of course, in gardens, cities and houses. It can be found at an altitude of 5500 meters as well as at 800 meters deep in caves. A scorpion feeds on termites, spiders and small lizards that it consumes there or that it brings back to its burrow. It hunts alone at night. Large prey are immobilized by a poison sting.
