Emperor Scorpion

[BleedingHeartOfIce]

Oh that's why the male leaves...

[xXxNoahsxArkxXx]

I own two of them they r so awesome especially under a black light

[basserkid13]

i want some of these

[shaboochaling]

what?! I'm suddenly a scorpion mother?!... I'm so proud :3

[510Anonymous]

It looked like a red clawed scorpion at the beginning or something. Peculiar.

[supasonicv]

i would gladly take a scorpion as a pet if i knew a way of removing the poison glands and stinger altogether without harming it... but until then ill keep on hacking the tail off with a rusty spoon

[MeatfortoeatALT]

@supasonicv You don't really have to remove the stinger. They're pretty nice as scorpions go and won't usually hurt you.

[VanishingWish]

Retarded American narrator. All American television has to be so over dramatic and wacky to keep the generally stupid populace entertained.

[Trevizdabomb]

wtf? how did it go from a gold color when mating to black when giving berth 

[thepebbl3]

@Trevizdabomb lol my guess is that they took another video of another scorpian because they couldnt wait for the baby to hatch or sth :D

[haytacix]

Damn nature. YOU ARE SCARY

[BlackMorph1997]

Giant RadScorpion!?

gimme da YCS/186!!

[Purrebark]

@BlackMorph1997 Dude not funny. I shat myself walking into the firestation in Fallout 3 New vegas

[Areyourealythatdumb]

given the date of this videoyou gotta answere no! most of those scorpions wont return, most will become pets for hobbiests.

[FLYDOG2013]

The narrator is such a dumbass

[Blaze180888]

the babys remind me of alien lol

[spelchekker]

relax ffs

[TrueAnimeGoddess]

is it just me or is this narrator is just awesome? x3

[thewhitewhale11]

hit it and quit it

[Schuldiner66]

just LOL

[aslongasyouloveme201]

He said u can kill him at anytime hehee.

[aslongasyouloveme201]

coool

[MyBoySlug]

Man I was watching this while laying down and I got goosebumps like if a scorpion will craw up my leg

[MasterOfLava9]

@MyBoySlug its just a pathetic city cockroach xD

[Twilleh]

God damn it what is wrong with this narrator

[replicator666]

@Twilleh he's awesome?

(or ur offended by him for some reason. . . female perhaps?)

[ambiguousheather]

Shame. American documentary films are SO dumbed down. Must have really small attention spans, if you have to teach about scorpions with all that 'all eight of them!' rubbish.

[nonchalantgamer]

@ambiguousheather This is not how most of our documentaries are done. You're judging the entire USA by the way National Geographic narrated a few videos.

[EucharistOfHypnos]

@ambiguousheather Regardless of what nonchalant says, a lot of our tv documentaries really are like this. This country blows.

[ladyxscorpion]

hahaha the narrator is really funny, I didn´t know scorpios dance the Tango lol female looks very protective all this babies is her dorse great mother :) dont mess with my kids!! hehehe.

[fadalisdestroyer666]

0:29 aww!

[josejalepeno63]

ha the babies are kinda cute

[newworldfool]

Can someone tell me the name of the music at 0:55

[JK47NT]

I plan on getting an Emperor Scorpion one day. And yes, Fallout inspired it!

[vaibanez17]

How does national geographic always get these amazing camera views?

[elfwhitewave]

@vaibanez17

the scorpions were probably in really nice set up tank, not wild scorpions.

[TheKittycat9]

I have a scorpion just like that

[1998lowbacca]

Bear Grylls is Missing in this vid because he should eat it

:-)

[MrBuddyMaker]

Bear Grylls is Missing in this vid

[MrBuddyMaker]

Bear Gryllys is missing

[RaiNiNGBuLLeTzZ]

Reminds me of fallout lol

[xXUAVenomXx]

@RaiNiNGBuLLeTzZ Alino Rad scoprion xD

[dqqx803]

the narrator was funny

[pgk354]

Oh shit the male tooted a nd booted her lmao

[jfranax]

Drop the sperm on the floor, then put her on it...

WHERE'S THE FUN!?

At least he enjoys his last Tango

[freecriticalthought]

this narrator is a disgusting, immature amerikan, and I really hate these disgusting amerikan advertisements

[kaybrin1]

@freecriticalthought what was so offensive about this? it was educational without being boring

[xXNotDeadXx]

on this video 2 scorpion fight pandinus cavimanus red claw and pandinus emperor at the end

[DRUMSTUDDZ]

woah.. 18 months??

how come my j. emp gave birth no longer than 3months.. at 7i, 2months 3rd week.. gave birth.. got her since she was a hatchling..

[gunttoo]

@DRUMSTUDDZ I heard that it ranges vastly from few months to 4 years

ain't that something..

[PPiTTislakatamia]

i never realized i was a female scorpion in africa..i know the truth now..my whole life was a lie..

[kucoru16]

379 women liked this video

[gatler05]

Nature is fucking crazy, :D.

[FilipH86]

it's like in real life if you don't please the woman they eat you

[GTracer1220]

those arent emperor scorpions but mmkay.

[ILuvGloomyBears]

i luv the way the narrator says this stuff... ^^

[pestsites]

A much more venomous Scorpion is the Bark Scorpion. Bark Scorpions live in Arizona, United States and though small, it is a feared arachnid to stumble across.

[1h34rtmus1c]

HEY! THIS ISN'T SOMETHING BY EMPEROR!

[bibopapop]

1st good video from NG

[ccrstarpanda]

aw.......

[JumpStyle212]

hahha go on ya good thing

[EbonyLaceVeil]

I love these interesting arachnids, I've been reading up intensly on scorpions & spiders since I was a child and they're just amazing. I never kill spiders. I've even eaten some edible scorpions covered in chocolate and in minute bottles of vodka, since they detoxify the system! :) They don't have much taste!

[1h34rtmus1c]

@EbonyLaceVeil dude, I ain't eating/drinking a scorpion.... gross. detoxify the system- that's what the vodka's for!

[EbonyLaceVeil]

@1h34rtmus1c how do you know it's gross unless you've tried one..?!

Scorpions, like seafood are healthy and good for the system!

[nerxboy]

the male forced the female to accept the sperm.. RAPE!!!

[TheSoggyJoe]

WTF my male scorpion ate my female .

Why cant they live in peace ???

[BeastBoyJuniorTT]

looks like a cross between a giant spider and a crab. i want a tarantula and one of these scorpions and feed them crickets. 10 for a $1.

[XxnEr0xXxMaNexX]

first off it's not 18 months it's less in the wilderness and even lesser in captivity and second not only 18 babies they can give birth to well over 30

[joemj413]

[NinjaKurt23]

[CradleOfBodom17]

[DestructorOfMinds]

@CradleOfBodom17 same here, amazing thingy tho

[edgeofsins]

@CradleOfBodom17

Me too lol. Thought this was one of the songs that took an audio sample from something and put it in the beginning.

[Valenteri1]

@CradleOfBodom17 Same as this guy xD

[DOMIDOOM]

@CradleOfBodom17 same haha

[indeliblelines]

@CradleOfBodom17 Haha. I just did the same thing.

[1h34rtmus1c]

@CradleOfBodom17 yeah, they tricked me too.

[ZapherJin]

@CradleOfBodom17 wow same here

[yanatsu02]

@CradleOfBodom17 that was exactly what happened to me right now=))

[walshy0001]

@CradleOfBodom17

exact same thing that happened to me haha

[sgtzero1337]

@CradleOfBodom17 LOL same reason why i was here XDDDD I love emperor and then I got intreseted with this. well I guess it's fun learning about animals and stuff too right? XDD

[evangel18]

@CradleOfBodom17

i was watching a video of the band scorpions xD

[MartyrOfMetal]

@CradleOfBodom17 SAME DUDE.

[Pixiebabylove]

lol looks like sumthing out of alien v predator

[jetfish777]

ha yea that was wat i was thinking

[janz1984]

OMG, this video is funny but also very interested, I dont like scorpions or spiders but sure it is interested how they reproduce themselves.

[Poloball3]

friend o mine had two of these, they mated, the female then ate the male, had the babies a long ass time later, then ate the babies. she wasn't very nice.

[5h0r7ty]

:D:D womens.. :D

[shadowseraph78]

was she being fed regularly? if not then the male and the babies are viable food sources. Females consuming males occurs in spiders and mantids, also.

[MrThrasha666]

COOOOOL

[dopsonr]

@Poloball3 sounds a bit nicer than my wife, LOL kidding

[YouBenTV]

@Poloball3 typical female...

[CROATIA4LIFE666]

@Poloball3 What my girlfriend has to do with it?

[bluekissesxoxo]

@Poloball3 thats what I feel like doing when my hubby pisses me off..haha

[Tyannalyn]

@Poloball3 LOL

[Noraa666]

@Poloball3 Sounds like my ex........

[swordebrithil12]

@Poloball3 So she only had the husband around to create more food? Wow, I'm scared of marrying now.

[SpinninTom]

@Poloball3 because they were in the same tank, the male probably tried to run. but she dominated him lol

[razmazter]

@Poloball3 What a bitch.

[Recocool]

alltså de e ju svenska :D

[ScorpionFire98]

a scorpions gotta do what a scorpions gotta do ; )

[TimmyGal]

At least she's loving! Yuk!

[lonewolfsis04]

aww the babies we so cute :]

[megatron89j]

"scorpion booty" ....XD

[frostyh81]

hahaha

i love the narrorator!

[tzutzijhay]

its narrator..lolz

[frostyh81]

haha thanks for correcting my grammer/spelling.

:)

[omgodzilla10]

That would be scary to see a clear scorpian...

[ROBOTNINJA500]

the female probably wouldn't kill the male if the sex takes to long she just leaves the poisin to another scorpion of the same breed is practically harmless although parylyses them but normally the male does that and sexual cannibalism is rare and prevented by the male in several ways

[CHEENOZ]

2:23 was so cute

[MN038]

the babi scorpions are so cute XD!!

LMAO!!!!

[kirkbrf1]

NOJO!

[heyhey1340]

get kinky huh??

[asiangangzter]

He just got laid

[ServerWar2Ru]

lol xxer0xxxmanxx u fuckin noob....scorpion species never have 2 eyes moron, they have 4 to 8 eyes those "2" u say are the median eyes and scorpions have lateral eyes on the side of the prosoma stfu and think before u speak fag

[ltuomela]

@ServerWar2Ru EITHER WAY THIS VID IS ANNOYING..LOL..AS HE SPEAKS LIKE YOUR A 5 YEAR OLD..AND WHAT MAN YOU AHH LIKE A BUG GOD...LOL...SO YOU STFU..LOL..I JUST HAD TO SAY SOMETHING AS THAT WAS JUST OUT THERE WHAT YA HAD TO SAY TO THE MORON...LOL.

[Dnagamo123]

scorpions are not bugs they have 8 legs rather than six and they have a name as well look it up

[ltuomela]

well they are a bug to me and ill stomp on one fast!..lol..i dont care, its anthropoid i believe is the word your lookin for..lmao..not sure and dont care..lol..there dead if they come near me..lol

[XxnEr0xXxMaNexX]

oh and it's not 18 moths if the temperature is right and the air moisture high it takes less time it could even take 9 months like a himan

[XxnEr0xXxMaNexX]

am.......ur idiotic ! scorpions have only 2 eyes and there on the top of there "face"

[zatoth13]

most arachnids have more than two eyes.

wow-they don't live as long as my tarantula did. i thought emperor scorpions had long lives, but red kneed tarantula females live about 20 or so years...

[FARTY12W]

why does every species with exoskeletons come out white like gummy bears lol

[TheFunyvideos]

the babys are so cute

[royalsteven]

How come in the animal world most of time females are bigger? Seems animals have accepted equality sooner then humans o_O

[xBiocide]

I am all for equality and all, but had to point this out, lol.

You said that the females were bigger, but then immediately said that was equality. =P. That's not equal now, is it?

[royalsteven]

I do. Because I like big bichez cause they large. And big bichez always take charge ^_^ Just kiddin' :D

[headcharge1958]

scorpion babys look so animated xD

[LucaviAD]

Wicked!

[xVSxReMiiXeD]

How can you tell if a Scorpion is a boy or girl?

[Prophet275]

The females are always bigger than the males

[zolo1243]

Flip it over. The females have shorter "feathers" on those things on their bellies than the males do.

[FlameSpartan]

Females are larger

[TheSoggyJoe]

@FlameSpartan not really . Scorpion males aren't like the spiders they are as big as the females but often refuse to fight them and die.

[FlameSpartan]

@TheSoggyJoe Both of my females are larger than the males I've had. I'm really speaking more of personal experiance thatn general facts; sorry to cause confusion.

Good catch on your part, though

[dowling1981]

@FlameSpartan Are you talking about human slaves?

[FlameSpartan]

@dowling1981 I'm talking about my Emperor Scorpions

[dowling1981]

@FlameSpartan That's what you call them. Perhaps you should realise that people have rights and do not deserve to be taken as slaves?

[FlameSpartan]

@dowling1981 1. Scorpions are not people. 2. I take care of them and they are happy. 3. WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT SLAVES FOR!?

[FlameSpartan]

@dowling1981 1. Scorpions are not people. 2. I take care of them and they are happy. 3. WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT SLAVES FOR!?

[FlameSpartan]

@dowling1981 1. Scorpions are not people. 2. I take care of them and they are happy. 3. WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT SLAVES FOR!?

[FlameSpartan]

@dowling1981 1. Scorpions are not people. 2. I take care of them and they are happy. 3. WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT SLAVES FOR!?

[dowling1981]

@FlameSpartan You imagine that they are happy yet they have not been asked if they are. Slavery may work for some but it oppresses others. When shall they see freedom?

[FlameSpartan]

@dowling1981 They are safe. I care for them and keep them alive. What is better than the gift of life?

[dowling1981]

@FlameSpartan They could stay alive without you. Let them make their own way in life. Won't you grant them the right to an autonomous existence?

[Spoons15322]

This made me feel like a gay scorpion.

[jballen90]

SCORPION PRON!!

[VampiresBiteHard666]

kinda cute for a female scorpion

[royalsteven]

Would you like to date one and get eaten?

[VampiresBiteHard666]

me no no I'd rather stick to dating girls than female scorpions

[ltuomela]

@VampiresBiteHard666 BUT MOST WOMEN STING YA LIKE ONE..LMAO!

[infamouz630]

dat shyt iz huge!

[jaydmalex]

it is disgusting

[nubtalkshow]

Scorpion sex! o:

[CR055SAM]

OMG RADSCORPION FALLOUT IS TRUE!

[xmercstudiosx]

[BlackKnightSkye]

So that's where the Albino Radscorpions come from.... the nasty back of their mothers....

Fallout WIN!

[bombamurphy1]

Scorpion porn

[azxdesertrat]

Damn kids...

[EKhammer323]

le scorpiono tango

my apologies for the lack of proper spanish grammar

[ESAMMEX]

I thought emperor scorpions had gestation periods of only 9 months?

[cinnabonne]

That's humans.

[michaeleh09]

us ametures ( me ans joeypa18 ) laugh at everything that says "sperm"

[The33rdkiller]

Creepy, but sorta nice :)

[cinnabonne]

ARRRGH.i hate when people spell 'scorpion' as 'scorpian'. Im not sure why,it jsut pisses me off.Maybe its cause Im a scorpio and i feel insulted? LOL.Hey,who here is a scorpio?the only reason i even found out about scorpions is ebcause igot interested in my astrology sign :D

[Jarahn]

yea me 2, i was lookin into scorpions because of my zodiac too........

[YouNewbTR]

Your whole comment is about some people who spell scorpion wrong. But in your comment I haven't seen a single sentence without a spellingmistake...

You should be ashamed of yourself!

[cinnabonne]

Sorry.Those were all typos,I'd just gotten a new keyboard.But I'm used to it now :D

[crazygoodweirdo]

something bout those litte guys seem kinda.....cute. even if i wuld most likely have a heart attack if i went near one!

[BlueRice]

somehow i find it cute on those baby eyes.

2:50

[SWolvenProductions]

This is amazing. The delicate process of mating with almost every other species does not compare to how difficult it is for us humans! XD

[Pro902]

um what? human mating is easy compared to most animals...

[jcv4200]

I guess he is judging by his own personal experience. It can be pretty difficult if your partner doesn't want to participate.

[instar57]

i have had what i thought is a sexed pair for 7 months, she looked like she was getting fatter and guess what. now what do i do for feeding babies? i know mom feeds them, but should i disturb her and how often/father is still in there. need some help here.

[rikk06]

japanesebugfights*com FTW!

[Masa857]

those behavoir traits reminds me of my pet lobster.

[BEZURCER]

This is pretty informative. Chech out some of our videos, there informational videos on some popular reptiles.
