The Vinegaroon Sprays Acid to Foil Its Foes

The Vinegaroon Sprays Acid to Foil Its Foes

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
The vinegaroon also known as a whip scorpion looks like a Frankenstein creation of monster body parts. But unlike true scorpions, it doesnt use venom to defend itself from predators. Instead, it aims its tail at their face and sprays a blast of acid that reeks of you guessed it vinegar. Only this weaponized vinegar is 16 times stronger than whats in your salad

I dont think stink glands are accurate. Their spray smells EXACTLY like salt and vinegar potato chips. Its nothing compared to some other animals. I used to work for an animal importer/wholesaler and would have to unpack and rehouse hundreds of these things. Ive taken a few sprays right to the face and eyes. No big deal.

I use to play with these guys as a kid, usually just put some bugs in front of it and watch it eat em. Occasionally I tried to pick them up but they weren't ever having it and I learned real quick I don't wanna smell like them again lol

I was chased by one of these when I was little! It squeezed itself under a closed door. It took years for me not to pigeon toe walk any time I was barefoot.

Saw a dead one of these in Mexico. I was really confused as to what in the world it was since I never seen anything like it before. Really creepy looking.

I used to have one of these that I caught & kept in an aquarium. Fed it June bugs. It would just crush them and eat them alive

They also have an interesting sibling without the whip called tailless whip scorpions, also in the arachnid family.

Nothing like getting a face full of dirt every time you need to do some excavating. Imagine that. Poor dumby. Lol

3: 31 an adult vinegaroon can shoot up to 5 times before it needs to fill up again

I am going to stop buying vinegar. I'll just keep 2 of these in a jar and have them spray my salad when needed
