Pandinus imperator. Emperor scorpions belong to the class of arthropods Arachnida, in the order Scorpiones. They are further classified into the family Scorpionidae.
Scorpions are ancient arachnids, for they have been roaming the Earth for over 400 million years. These hardy animals live in barren deserts, on windblown beaches and in the mountains, tropical rainforests and deep caves. Their secluded burrow often acts as a shelter from extremes. To conserve energy in times of famine, scorpions can slow down their metabolism. Certain scorpions can survive almost a year without food. Scorpions do not need to drink water. They get all the water they need from their food, and their feces consists of a dry powder-like substance. Even though they are cold-blooded, scorpions can be cooled to below freezing, or endure the blistering heat of the desert.
