About This Reader
The Desert Scorpion is a resilient arachnid that inhabits the desert. It has a hard exoskeleton for protection and uses its pincers to grab prey. The scorpion has a venomous stinger at the end of its tail, primarily used to subdue its food. Desert scorpions are nocturnal hunters, coming out at night to feed on insects and small animals. During the day, they stay hidden under rocks or in burrows to avoid the heat. The Desert Scorpion's ability to thrive in harsh conditions makes it a fascinating desert creature.
