Club5050| 10 INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT SCORPIONS

Hello everyone..

• today i'll be presenting 10 interesting facts about scorpions..

I went to a farm far in the outskirts of D'la..
😌 and youll never guess what happened we found scorpions.. Like how cool is that.. Not just one but like 7..

So i took a liking to the creature and decided to do some research and i found 10 interesting facts about scorpions ..

• THEY HAVE A LONG LIVE SPAN
  Scorpions live for up to 25years.. Thats when.
  theyre in captivity like someone pet or so.. But.
  In the eild they only live for 10 to 15years..

• THEY ARE ANCIENT
  They been here long before the dino's thats according to someone elses research thats 420 million years ago.. And according to the said research scorpions may have had gills and lived in the ocean.. And they are hardly different from their ancestor.. Which means they havent evolved that much over time.. Except for the having gills part..

• SCORPIONS ARE SURVIVORS
  They can go a whole year without food..because they reduce their metabolism and can stay submerged in water for 48hours..like how cool is that✨. They have lived on land for over 400 million years.. Beats me how they survived the Dino extinction.

• SCORPIONS ARNT INSECTS
  Most common mistake people make is confusing scorpions for insects.. Scorpions are Arthropods that belong to the class Arachnida. Like spiders.. Ticks ..etc

• SCORPIONS DANCE BEFORE MATING
  Oulalaaa😯 how romantic is that😏 that said dance is called PROMENADE A DEUX or A WALK FOR TWO..✨😂 scorpions kill us now..
  So heres the best part... The female eats thr male after mating.. 😂😂😂 this gender will surprise you.. Shes said to have worked up and appitide from all the dancing..😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 just like spiders..

• THEY GLOW UNDER ULTRAVOILET LIGHT
  A whike back scientist where only able to discover about 600 species of scorpions but after this break through.. 2000 species where found.. Cause it was easier to locate them in the dark using UV light but when they molt, their skin becomes soft and cant absorb and reflect the uv rays... Well i guess ypu didnt know scorpins molts.. Youre welcome😌 again..

• THEY EAT JUST ABOUT ANYTHING
  While some scorpions specialise in eating a particular type of prey some eat just about whatever is appitizing to them.. A mother will eat her babies to survive if food is scarce

• SCORPIONS PRODUCE VENOM
  Well we all know they produce venom but heres a fact they are over 2000 plus species scorpions in the world and only 30 species produce lethal venom.. The thing is scorpions are stingy with their sting they barely use it except its necessary they can control the amount of poison they release in a sting.. Which is pretty handy considering it takes a tole on their stamina when they release too much venom.

• BABY SCORPIONS ARE MORE DANGEROUS THAN ADULTS
  Okay i know ehat you all thinking but hear me out first..
  And adult is able to control the amount of venom it releases in a single sting.. But the baby on the other hand isnt quite capable of that yet plus they arent that dangerous to humans.. Thats except for the other 3p specied who would kill you within minuits.

• SCORPIONS ARE SUPER INTELLIGENT
  It is said they have the intelligence or IQ suited for a surgeon, detective or psychiatrist.. They are also compasionate.. Which beats me cause they female eat the males.. 😏 i guess its onky the males who are compasionate😌 runs in the gender..

😁 so after doing this research i took the scorpion i caught as a pet..😂 yup i know am crazy!.

Thanks..
