Bothriurus Coriaceus
''Bothriurus coriaceus'' (Chilean scorpion) is a species of scorpion native to Chile in the Coquimbo region specifically in the northern dunes. They are not communal and are rumored to dislike the heat and will burrow deep into the ground to get cool. 20 °C - 68 °F is said to be their preferred temperature, a much cooler temperature than most scorpion species, and have actually been known to die in higher temperatures. In addition to living in lower temperatures they also prefer lower humidity than most species of scorpion.

Bothriuridae
The Bothriuridae are a Family (biology), family of scorpions, comprising 151 species in 16 genera. The family has representatives in temperate and subtropical habitats from four continents: South America, Africa, Asia, and Australia. One genus (''Cercophonius'') has recently been discovered in the Himalayas. The members of this family have a unique feature - the normally pentagonal sternum consists of two transverse bars (except ''Liposoma'' and ''Tehuankea'') and is several times broader than long.

Scorpions Of South America
Scorpions are predatory arachnids of the order Scorpiones. They have eight legs, and are easily recognized by a pair of grasping pincers and a narrow, segmented tail, often carried in a characteristic forward curve over the back and always ending with a stinger. The evolutionary history of scorpions goes back 435 million years. They mainly live in deserts but have adapted to a wide range of environmental conditions, and can be found on all continents except Antarctica. There are over 2,500 described species, with 22 extant (living) families recognized to date. Their taxonomy is being revised to account for 21st-century genomic studies. Scorpions primarily prey on insects and other invertebrates, but some species hunt vertebrates. They use their pincers to restrain and kill prey, or to prevent their own predation. The venomous sting is used for offense and defense. During courtship, the male and female grasp each other's pincers and dance while he tries to move her onto his spe ...

Animals Described In 1893
Animals are multicellular, eukaryotic organisms in the biological kingdom Animalia. With few exceptions, animals consume organic material, breathe oxygen, are able to move, can reproduce sexually, and go through an ontogenetic stage in which their body consists of a hollow sphere of cells, the blastula, during embryonic development. Over 1.5 million living animal species have been described—of which around 1 million are insects—but it has been estimated there are over 7 million animal species in total. Animals range in length from to . They have complex interactions with each other and their environments, forming intricate food webs. The scientific study of animals is known as zoology. Most living animal species are in Bilateria, a clade whose members have a bilaterally symmetric body plan. The Bilateria include the protostomes, containing animals such as nematodes, arthropods, flatworms, annelids and molluscs, and the deuterostomes, containing the echinoderms and ...
