Black Hairy Thick-tailed Scorpion
Black Hairy Thick-tailed Scorpion
Parabuthus transvaalicus
The thick tail and relatively small pincers of this scorpion show that it has a potent venom. In addition to stinging its prey, it can spray venom at the eyes of any would be attacker, or just sting them! Fortunately they are very shy and much prefer to scuttle away to safety if given the opportunity.
