Natural Hybrid Black (Parabuthus villosus)

Parabuthus villosus, also known as the black hairy thick-tailed scorpion, is one of the largest scorpion species in southern Africa, growing up to 18–20 cm (about 8 inches) in length. It is easily recognized by its dark, robust body covered with fine hairs and a thick, powerful tail. Native to arid and semi-arid regions of Namibia and South Africa, this species is both fast and aggressive, using its strong venom and large pincers to subdue prey. Its venom is medically significant and can cause intense pain and systemic symptoms in humans. P. villosus is a striking but dangerous species, respected by both researchers and scorpion enthusiasts.
