-THE ISLAND LIFE-

The Pandinus imperator, or emperor scorpion, exhibits remarkable physiological capabilities: it can retain respiration for up to six days, endure a year without sustenance, ascend virtually any surface, and fluoresce under ultraviolet illumination.

This impressive arachnid, inhabiting West African rainforests and savannas, attains lengths up to 20 cm and weights of 28 g, ranking among the world's largest scorpions. Its characteristics include a glossy black exoskeleton, robust pincers, and a venomous caudal stinger. However, its venom is relatively mild, and prey is typically subdued through crushing with its claws.

The emperor scorpion, a carnivorous species primarily consuming insects and termites, demonstrates significant resilience to food and water deprivation. Its burrowing behavior favors concealment beneath leaf litter, logs, or termite mounds. Furthermore, it displays social tendencies, cohabitating with conspecifics.

CITES safeguards the emperor scorpion against overexploitation and habitat destruction. Its unique fluorescence—a green or blue glow under ultraviolet light—may serve a crucial role in mate location or predator avoidance.
