Xibaar
It finds prey by sensing vibrations, so it struggles to catch prey that moves less.1
It often pauses before feeding, but scientists do not know why.1
It is a burrowing scorpion that spends much of its time digging in the sand and enlarging its burrow.1
It needs high daytime temperatures of 30–35 °C and a sharp drop at night to about 20 °C, which mimics desert conditions.1
