Stripe-tailed scorpion
The stripe-tailed scorpion is a medium-sized scorpion that lives in the deserts of south-western United States and north-western Mexico. It is often found under rocks and on sandy ground. Although it is venomous like all scorpions, its venom is not considered dangerous to people.1

Òtítọ́
If the male keeps dancing longer than the female, she may attack him and eat him.1
During pregnancy, the female holds an unusually rigid body posture that no other scorpion shows, with her front legs lowered at birth.1
Mating involves a dance that can last from a few minutes to several hours, and the pair then goes their separate ways.1
Pallid bats, sand-swimmer snakes, spiders, centipedes, lizards, birds and other scorpions all prey on it.1
Olùfọ́ àròsọ
Àròsọ: Stripe-tailed scorpions are dangerous to people because they are venomous.
Òtítọ́: Although it is venomous, its venom is not medically significant for humans or other mammals.1
