All About Scorpions

Information About Scorpions

Scorpions are bugs found to be relative family to spiders and ticks. Scorpions have lived for millions of years and can adjust to surviving in almost an area. From mountaintops of the Himalayas to jungle living in Brazil, Scorpions withstand cold and hot environments.

Eating Habits

There are thousands of scorpions found throughout the world but not all of them are deadly. Some only possess poison strong enough to kill their prey, while others may contain enough poison to kill a human being. Scorpions can adapt or modify these poisons based on the threat level found in specific environments and prey.

Adjusting To The Environment

The prey usually consists of other insects, although it may again vary on environment. Some scorpions may go several weeks or months without the possibility of finding more prey. This makes the scorpion modify its eating pattern. They can slow their metabolism rate enough to survive from as little as one insect per year if necessary. Even at this rate scorpions remain very fast and able to catch prey.

Need To Survive

Although scorpions have adjusted to living in these environments, some without regular eating patterns, scorpions have not adjusted to living on land with no soil. They must be able to burrow, whether in grassy areas, or sand, they will not survive in areas without that protection.
