Where does the Scorpion live?

Scorpions are arachnids that can live in many types of habitats, but they prefer deserts and semi-arid regions.

They can also be found in grasslands, savannas, forests, mountains, caves, beaches, and coasts.

Scorpions are not present in extremely cold ecosystems, such as Greenland and Antarctica.

Scorpions are mostly nocturnal and hide under logs, rocks, boards, and clutter during the day.

Some species, like the bark scorpion, rest on vertical surfaces such as trees, bushes, and walls.

Some scorpions dig burrows in the ground, where they wait for their prey or escape from predators.

Scorpion burrows can be up to a meter deep, depending on the dryness of the location.

Scorpions use their venomous stingers and grasping pincers to capture and subdue their prey, which consists of insects, spiders, and other invertebrates.

They can sense the vibrations of their prey as they move.

Scorpions can only ingest liquids, so they discard the solid parts of their prey after feeding.
