Scorpion Sighting

Last week on one of the morning walks, our human came across a rather depressing sight, a dead scorpion.

With one of its claws detached, you could not help wondering what could have possibly happened. Was it attacked by a wild animal or human?

It brought back memories of the first encounter a few years back.

Scorpions are sensitive creatures.

Sensing human, it raised its tail and claws in defence. Our human stood absolutely still, took out the cellphone with utter slow movements to snap this picture.

After a short while, that scorpion turned and scurried down the gulley.

Few weeks later, that area was bulldozed and our human did not know whether the scorpion survived or not.
