Scorpions

To many people, scorpions epitomize the desert. The Chihuahuan Desert has a large variety of these animals, including endemic forms found nowhere else. Excellent websites include Scorpions from the Chihuahuan Desert Region of Mexico and the United States and The Scorpion Files. A special thanks to Kari McWest for advice and photographs.
