Scorpions: A kidcyber weblink page

There may be as many as 100 species of Australian scorpions.

Scorpions can be black, brown, or yellow.

A scorpion's sting is in its tail.

Scorpions build burrows under logs, rocks, or under bark of trees.

They hunt insects, spiders and beetles at night.

Scorpions don't have good eyesight, they find their way about by touch, smell and by feeling vibrations.

Some species of scorpions live in North America and in Africa.
