Scorpions have been on the planet for hundreds of millions of years, and have shown no signs of slowing down.

Scorpions are incredibly adaptable. They can survive in deserts, forests, and even mountains. In fact, according to National Geographic, researchers have frozen scorpions overnight only to watch them thaw out and walk away perfectly fine the next morning.

Scorpions can also slow their metabolism rate to the point where they can survive on one insect for an entire year.
