The movable finger is what clamps down and grasps onto prey. The first pair of legs appear to be extremely long, yet thin, much smaller than the claws that they have. They appear to be the smallest appendages that the scorpion has. The function that they may serve is to help stabilize the scorpion as it is walking around. They might also…

Their conch at the island brought order and power to the individual holding it and it became a symbol of authority at the…

Not only are there obvious physical differences/similarities among both, but…

They have a very long, intricate history, with many physical characteristics; similar to llamas, but they differ with their divergent habits, and separate purposes. Both do ultimately relate back to the camelid…

The trait of the species that is believed to be an adaptation are the quills because the length of the quills vary by 8-15mm (Cho et al. 2012), are barbed and can be detachable, which could indicate that it is used for defense against predators, such as viverrids, owls and boas (Eisenberg & Gould, 1970). Their behaviour also suggests that it is used as a line of defense…
