Deathstalker Scorpions

via

Scorpions are greatly feared by humans, and with good reason. They are fast movers, incapacitating prey and perceived enemies alike with their powerful venom. One of the most dangerous types of scorpions is the aptly named deathstalker, commonly found in North America and the Middle East. The deathstalker’s venom contains a mix of neurotoxins. While not fatal to healthy adult humans, this noxious potion is dangerous for younger children and the elderly. The sting is also painful and should be treated as a medical emergency.
