Chokwadi
Its common name 'vinegaroon' comes from the vinegar smell of the acid it sprays.1
It is an efficient predator of scorpions, and it is sometimes bought for that purpose.1
Males fight each other at night in fierce battles for the chance to mate with a female.1
It has eight eyes, but they are very weak, so it finds its way mostly by feeling with its front legs, tail and pedipalps.1
Raccoons, coatis, armadillos, skunks, bears, roadrunners, lizards and tarantulas may all eat it.1
It is sold in the exotic animal trade as a pet.1
