THE DEADLY ARACHNID 

The shyest and most self-effacing of animals are the wall creatures. However, there is one animal who you ought not to touch: the scorpion. A scorpion is a creature with eight legs and two claws and a special toxic [poisonous] sting.

The scorpion’s eight crooked legs give it grip to hold on to things. Its crab-like claws can easily break a walnut. This animal can easily kill its prey by its toxic venom which is so powerful that it can kill three men in seconds.

Incase you ever run across one of these fascinating creatures never ever blow air on them ,because if you do, it will make them angry and they will raise their tail in an unapologetic gesture and inject you with the undisputed venom .You will need to get to an emergency hospital as soon as possible.

Although scorpions are killers, they are also good creatures, calm and beautiful, only bad when provoked by people like you and me.
