Black-backed hairy scorpion
The black-backed hairy scorpion is a large scorpion, around 15 centimetres long, that lives in the southern deserts of North America. It spends much of its time digging in the sand and enlarging its burrow. Its sting can be quite painful, although its venom is usually considered low in toxicity.1

注意安全
- 永远不要摸、抓或逗弄野生动物,即使是很小的,即使它看起来在睡觉或已经死了。
- 给它留出空间。如果遇到它,保持冷静,慢慢后退,让它走自己的路。
- 如果被它蜇了:保持冷静,保持不动,拨打你的急救电话(112、000、911)或尽快去医院。记住它长什么样,拍张照片会有帮助。
它不是冲着你来的。它用毒液捕猎或保护自己,而且它更愿意躲起来。 更多安全知识
