The poisonous South African scorpion (Parabuthus transvaalicus) is the name of one of the world's most terrifying venom scorpions.They have the same name because they always spray poison to the opponent or prey before attacking with the tail.(Photo: Newscientist)
The body length of poisonous South African scorpion reaches 9 to 11cm.Their bodies have dark or dark colors.They are distributed in deserts, grasslands and semi-desert areas in countries in southern Africa such as Zimbabwe, Mozambique, South Africa, Botswana.
The body of the Parabuthus transvaalicus scorpion secretes a kind of poison that can make people laugh and twitch until they die.When scientists inject the poison into mice, their bodies are still twitching about 30 seconds after they die.
Scientists were stunned to know that scorpions only needed a quantity of poison equivalent to 20 billions of grams to kill a mouse with a mass of 20 grams.
Researchers found the South African poisonous scorpion possessed 3 types of poison.Each type of poison serves a particular purpose.
Some scientists believe that the toxins they first sprayed are the lowest toxic ones, the toxins that they release into the prey from the tail have higher toxicity.
The more harmful the poison is, the greater the energy for its production.Therefore, scorpions only need to spray mild poison to scare the enemy or kill small prey.They will use the tail when the prey is not dead or the enemy is not panic.
How to use venom helps scorpions preserve energy for other important activities.
