Top Ten World Deadliest Scorpions [photos] by Zimri(m): 4:40pm On Dec 05, 2020 |
Scorpions are a symbol of evil. The scorpion became a symbol of Judas and treachery because of its notorious bite. It has been considered as a symbol of vileness and treachery on the flags and shields of soldiers who assisted at the crucifixion of Christ. In the animal world, scorpions are predatory arachnids with eight legs. They are easily recognized by the pair of grasping appendages and a narrow, segmented tail. Their tail is often carried in a characteristic forward curve over the back and ends in a venomous stinger. We will discuss deadliest scorpions in the world. 2 Likes 1 Share

1. Spitting Thick tail Black Scorpion This is a fat species of South African scorpion that can grow up to be 6 inches in length. It is found in the desert regions and scrublands of Africa. This scorpion species has small pincers and a thick, powerful tail with a potent sting. With a lethal dose of 4.25 mg/kg, the venom itself is around the same potency as cyanide. It produces two types of venom- the first “prevention” is used to immobilize smaller prey or deliver a warning sting. When dealing with bigger prey, it can use more toxic venom. The Spitting thick tail scorpion can spit its venom up to the 1-meter distance. It can cause temporary blindness damage to the target’s eyes. 3 Likes 1 Share
