The Baja California bark scorpion is a slender scorpion with a long tail. It lives in the western deserts and wet places of North America, mainly in Baja California. It matters because it is closely related to the Arizona bark scorpion, and scientists only confirmed in 2004 that the two are separate species.1

It is often found in cool, moist places such as creek, stream and lakeside areas. It hides under tree bark, in rock crevices and in other ground cover to shelter from the daytime heat. It is nocturnal, so it is mostly active outside at night. It may occasionally shelter in homes or other buildings, but this is uncommon.1

자주 헷갈리는 동물: It is closely related to the Arizona bark scorpion, and their body shapes can be almost impossible to tell apart. Differences in venom and DNA are used to separate the two species. The subaculear tooth at the tip of the stinger and the way the tail rests on the ground are the main features that set it apart from other scorpions.1

독의 힘

쏘아

독은 침으로 나와.

이 독(물거나 쏘는 독)은 어떤 작용을 할까?

It uses venom to hunt, injecting it into prey to immobilise or kill it. Each scorpion species has a unique venom profile, which is used to tell species apart. In humans, its venom may cause difficulty breathing or muscle spasms.1

사람에게 얼마나 위험할까?

사람에게 위험한 정도: 아픔정말 아플 수 있지만, 심각한 경우는 거의 없어.

Its venom has the potential to be fatal to humans, but the chances of this happening are low. It is not considered dangerous, and it is less of a medical threat than its close relative, the Arizona bark scorpion.1

쏘면

쏘인 곳을 얼음주머니로 식히고, 그 사람이 움직이지 않게 해. 빨리 의료 도움을 받아. 특히 아이라면 더 서둘러: 어떤 전갈은 아이에게 치명적이야.

언제나 먼저 응급 번호(112, 000, 911)에 전화해. 이건 일반적인 응급처치 안내이고, 의학적 조언이 아니야. 응급처치 기본

안전하게 지내

야생 동물은 작더라도, 자거나 죽은 것처럼 보이더라도 절대 만지거나, 잡거나, 괴롭히지 마.
거리를 둬. 마주치면 침착하게 천천히 뒤로 물러나서 제 갈 길을 가게 해 줘.
쏘였다면: 침착하게, 가만히 있고, 응급 번호(112, 000, 911)에 전화하거나 빨리 병원에 가. 생김새를 기억해 둬. 사진이 있으면 도움이 돼.

너를 노리는 게 아니야. 독은 먹이를 잡거나 자기를 지키려고 쓰는 거고, 사실은 숨는 걸 훨씬 좋아해. 안전하게 지내는 법 더 보기
