Some scorpion facts only serve to make us aware of how scary these creatures can appear. In fact, few people like these little guys, finding them anything from disgusting to downright traumatic. But the bad reputation of scorpions is entirely undeserved (similarly to that of some spiders as we show here in our 25 Adorable Spiders That Are Not As Scary As You Think). With these 25 cool scorpion facts we hope to show you the reality of how awesome these arthropods actually are. Scorpions are amazing creatures with astonishing abilities. You might know that scorpions have eight legs, two large crab-like pincers and a tail that ends with the notorious venomous stinger.

Keep on reading then because you are about to see how truly spectacular scorpions actually are.
