NARRATOR: AND NOW IT'S TIME FOR SOME MORE
"AMAZING ANIMALS"!
NUMBER 321...
THE AMAZING SCORPION!
WAIT WHO TURNED OUT THE LIGHTS?
WHOA, ANYBODY THERE?
[SCORPION HUMMING].
SCORPION: HELLO!
NARRATOR: OH IT'S ONLY YOU: THE VERY CHARMING BUT
SOMETIMES DEADLY SCORPION.
THERE ARE AROUND 1,500 DIFFERENT SPECIES.
AND YOU CAN FIND THEM PRETTY MUCH, EVERYWHERE.
WELL...
NOT HERE, OBVIES!
[PANTING].
SCORPION: ANYONE SEEN MY CAR KEYS?
NARRATOR: THIS SAND SCORPION LIVES IN THE DESERTS
OF NORTH AMERICA.
SCORPION: OOH, GOOD I LOVE CHOCOLATE MOUSSE!
NARRATOR: I SAID DESERTS NOT DESSERTS!
SCORPION: SPOILSPORT!
NARRATOR: SCORPIONS ARE ARACHNIDS;
THEY HAVE EIGHT LEGS, JUST LIKE SPIDERS.
AND VENOM TOO.
DON'T WORRY, ONLY A FEW SPECIES CAN HURT US HUMANS.
PHEW!
THEY ARE THE ULTIMATE FIGHTING MACHINE!
SENSITIVE HAIRS ACT LIKE RADAR TO FIND ANY PREY,
A STINGING TAIL, PINCERS, AND SHARP MOUTHPARTS.
SCORPION: I'M A DESERT NINJA!
NARRATOR: AND WITH THE HELP OF A UV LIGHT,
THEY ALSO GLOW IN THE DARK!
SCORPION: LET'S PARRRRRTAAAY!
WOOHOO, IS THAT YOU, UNCLE BRIAN?
UNCLE BRIAN: YEAH IT'S ME!
NARRATOR: THEY EAT INSECTS AND OTHER SMALL CRITTERS.
BY DIGESTING THEM ON THE OUTSIDE AND
SORT OF SLURPING THEM UP.
EWWW.
AND WHEN TIMES ARE TOUGH, THEY'LL EVEN EAT EACH OTHER.
UNCLE BRIAN: I CAME HERE TO DANCE!
SCORPION: I'LL MISS YOU UNCLE BRIAN!
AH, IT'S WHAT HE WOULD HAVE WANTED....
NARRATOR: BUT EVEN THEY HAVE THEIR ENEMIES!
SCORPION: GET YOUR EYES TESTED, SNAKEY!
SNAKE: I DID, I JUST GOT LAASSSSSSICK, DOH!
NARRATOR: THEY MAY LOOK LIKE WEIRD LAND LOBSTERS
BUT THE SCORPION IS 100% AN AMAZING ANIMAL!
