Pandinus imperator - The Emperor Scorpion
The Emperor Scorpion is also referred to as the Imperial Scorpion. They have long been a type of Scorpion that people are afraid of. Not only does the fear of a venomous creature bother them, it is also the very large size of this particular one that has people fearful.
The good news though is that the venom they produce isn’t nearly as potent as that of many other species of Scorpions. The sting from one though is going to be a very painful experience.

The emperor scorpion's exoskeleton encompasses the carapace, eyes, the mouth, claws, and four pairs of walking legs. The scorpion's exoskeleton is thick and durable, providing good protection from predators. Scorpions have two eyes on the top of the cephalothorax, and usually two to five pairs of eyes along the front corners. The position of the eyes on the cephalothorax depends in part on the hardness or softness of the soil upon which they spend their lives.
