THE RECORD BREAKERS[/size][/color]
Heaviest body:- Probably Hadogenes troglodytes- a non-gravid female may weigh 32g and be 21 cm (8.5 inches) long.
Longest body:- Heterometrus swammerdami A specimen from India measured in at 29.2 cm or 11.5 ins. Pandinus imperator has been recorded at 22.9 cm or 9.01 ins.
Smallest body:- Typhlocactus mitchelli 8.5 to 9.0 mm (less than 0.5 inches) in total length.
Longest lived:- Urodacus yashenkoiup to 24 years.
Gestation periods:- The shortest gestation period (54 days) belongs to the Cuban striped scorpion Centruroides anchorellus.
The longest gestation period (18 months) it is shared by Opisthacanthus asper, Opisthacanthus cayaporum and Urodacus yaschenkoi
Highest brood:- In 1954, J. Baerg recorded a female of the Jamaican striped scorpion Centruroides insulanus that gave birth to 105 babies in a single brood.
Time to maturity :- 6 to 96 months
Highest elevation:- Orobothriuris crassimanus 5,500 m in the Andes
Greatest depth below ground:- Alacran tartarus 812 m
Highest density of species:- Baja California 13 species.
Worst reputation :- Androctonus australis
Most dangerous poisonous:- Leiurus quinquestriatus
Most dangerous place:- Mexico, as many as 1000 people die from Scorpion sting every year.
A three-tailed scorpion:- Two-tailed scorpions are known since Pliny “The Elder” times, about 2000 years ago, although several cases were recorded during the last century. Nevertheless, the most anomalous case corresponds to a second instar of Centruroides gracilis that was born with three complete tails and six telsons.
