A newly discovered Colombian scorpion, scientifically named Tityus achilles, exhibits a unique defense mechanism by spraying venom from its stinger. This remarkable ability allows it to target potential threats from a distance of up to 35 centimeters, providing an innovative method of protection against predators.
The impact of this venom when it comes into contact with an animal’s eyes, mouth, or nose remains unknown, raising intriguing questions about its functionality and ecological significance. Further research is expected to unravel the mysteries surrounding this fascinating defensive strategy.
