Scorpions have been capturing prey under the stars for millions of years. This book looks at the scorpion's deadly sting, supersensitive legs, and other characteristics that make it one of the world's most skillful predators. The reader is taken along as the scorpion hunts, eats its prey, and battles its enemies.

-Review:

"Report writers (will) come away much more informed. Each volume in this new series is a well-written, well-organized, thorough look at how a creature hunts, catches, and devours its food, which, as it happens, encompasses a lot of natural history territory. The series format is attractive: slightly enlarged type, clear paragraph headings allow for quick access, and many illustrations. The content is excellent, and kids will come away not only more knowlegeable but also more respectful of the other animals that share our planet."
