There were scorpions on Earth long before there were dinosaurs. Some scorpion fossils are hundreds of millions of years old. Scorpions of today look very much like their ancestors, only smaller. You might find these lobster look-alikes in deserts and grasslands. They’re also found in tropical rain forests all over the world. Many live in snug burrows they either dig themselves or find already made.
