Scorpion+Habitat

//**Where do scorpions live?**//

They are found in every type of environment from arid deserts to rainforests, and everything in between. A few species can survive winters in cold climates,  even below freezing temperatures.



Scorpions live in dark places such as under rocks, in bark, or in the shadows of buildings  during the day. Scorpions like to stay in the shade to preserve energy and stay cool. Scorpions  are able to survive in the desert because they only need to drink water every few months. They have extra layers of fat on their external skeleton to prevent water loss. They do not have  skin like humans, so they do not sweat.
