SCORPIONS

Scorpions are predatory arachnids of the order Scorpiones. They have eight legs, and are easily recognized by a pair of grasping pincers and a narrow, segmented tail, often carried in a characteristic forward curve over the back and always ending with a stinger. The evolutionary history of scorpions goes back 435 million years. They mainly live in deserts but have adapted to a wide range of environmental conditions, and can be found on all continents except Antarctica. There are over 2,500 described species, with 22 extant (living) families recognized to date. Most these scorpion does have venom that can kill among of these scorpion that there venom can kill are not more than 30 species, but I would love explore the six deadliest amongst them.

The first scorpion is: Deathstalker



Deathstalker is the deadliest scorpion of all if this scorpion has powerful cardiotoxin and nuerotoxin it sting will lead to death if not promptly treated with antivenom even if the victim has no underlying health conditions. This deathstalk's venom is the most expensive liquid in the world a gallon of it venom goes for thirty point eight billion nira.

The second scorpion is: Spitting thick tail black



 Spitting thick tail is dark brown or black in colour, so it is also known as the Black Thick-Tailed scorpion. Its pincers are thin, but its tail is thickened, with the sting segment being as wide as the rest of the tail. It is nocturnal, resting in a shallow burrow under rocks during the day. Its does have venom only in it tail, but as well spit venom from it mouth like snake if one accidentally step on spitting thick tail black scorpion it will first administer a minimal "warning dose" but if Tha assailant persists a lethal dose will now be administered.


Third scorpion is: Brazilian yellow scarpion 



Brazilian yellow scarpion yellow in color and it back look like that of Ferrari car, it is found in Brazil, Argentina and neighboring countries it is deadliest scorpion in the South American continents, its venom kills at least 3,000 per year.

Forth scorpion is: yellow fattail scorpion 



Yellow fattail scorpion, Fattail scorpion or fat-tailed scorpion is the common name given to scorpions of the genus Androctonus, one of the most dangerous groups of scorpion species in the world. They are found throughout the semi-arid and arid regions of the Middle East and Africa. Their venom contains powerful neurotoxins and is especially potent. Stings from Androctonus species are known to cause several human deaths each year. Several pharmaceutical companies manufacture an antivenom for treatment of Androctonus envenomations.
