Which Scorpion STING is Worse?!

On this episode of Breaking Trail, Coyote Peterson puts himself up against another “pain-sting index” challenge as he compares the sting from the Southwest’s largest scorpion, the Giant Desert Hairy, to the sting of Arizona’s smallest scorpion, the Stripe-Tailed. Being that the Desert Hairy is nearly 4 times the size of the Stripe-Tailed, most people assume it also carries the more painful sting. However in scorpions, size doesn’t necessarily matter when it comes to their venom’s potency.
