Kamwe usimguse, kumkamata wala kumchokoza mnyama wa porini, hata akiwa mdogo, na hata akionekana amelala au amekufa.

Ukweli

It is highly territorial. When kept close together in captivity, individuals will fight to the death, and it shows cannibalism.1

Venom analysis has found 121 novel venom peptides, which may be medically valuable for ion channel-associated diseases and infections caused by antibiotic-resistant pathogens.1

It was once regarded as the scorpion with the longest recorded body length, reaching up to 20 cm. Heterometrus swammerdami now holds the record at 23 cm.1

It can dig quickly, clearing soil and gravel from under a stone ledge to make a new den. It uses its tail to sweep the dirt away.1

Its flattened body lets it move into the small cracks and crevices of rocky outcrops.1
