definition: A scorpion is a small animal with a narrow body and eight legs. It also has a tail that can curl up toward its head. Scorpions are in the same family of animals as spiders. They can sting, and they can be dangerous to people. Scorpions live mostly in warm, dry areas of the world.
Scorpions have eight legs, but they don't look like spiders to me. I think they look more like lobsters.
