Scorpions are among the creepier land animals, and this nature short from Eclair lets its audience see that for themselves, with their scuttling gait, their choice of habitats -- it looks like a dry sand pit, somewhere, according to the Dutch titles I saw on the print -- and their charming custom of going up to a mouse a hundred times their size, jabbing it, walking away, and then an hour later, the mouse is twitching and dying, poisoned.
That and their getting along with millipedes according to this short. Not my favorite critters. If you wish to look at this pretty good nature short, you can find a good copy on the Eye Institute's site on YouTube. Be warned: the titles are in Dutch.
