This feared creature is known to be large and aggressive and can inflict a painful sting to humans. Occupying much of Australia’s arid deserts, the Australian Desert Scorpion endures scorching temperatures by digging spiralling burrows up to a metre deep. This spiral formation allows the scorpion to regulate the temperature of its environment.
Known to grow up to 12 centimetres long, the Australian Desert Scorpion uses its powerful pincers to capture and hold its prey before stinging it with its poisonous tail.
