Scorpions are predatory arachnids of order Scorpiones (Phylum: Arthropoda, Kingdom: Animalia). They have eight legs, and are easily recognized by a pair of grasping pincers and a narrow, segmented tail, often carried in a characteristic forward curve over the back and always ending with a stinger. The sting may be painful or even deadly, depending on the species. Of 1,500 species of scorpions worldwide, only about 20 to 25 are dangerous. Its’ venom is a mixture of compounds, including neurotoxins that affect the victim's nervous system.
