Scorpions – smart architects Bashny.Net

Israeli scientists have discovered that Scorpions burrow is quite complex architectural objects.

The researchers led by Professor Amanda Adams from the University of Ben-Gurion University have produced casts of Scorpion tailed holes, filling them with molten aluminum. Then analyzed the resulting objects laser 3Dи appropriate software. It turned out that the housing of the Scorpions has a fairly complex structure. Each burrow began with a short vertical segment. Biologists believe that this place was used by the Scorpions to warm up before a night out.





The other part of the refuge, according to scientists, it provides coolness during the heat of the day, reducing moisture loss. Adams said, "On the burrows of Scorpions, little is known. We plan to expand the research worldwide. Understanding the relationship between environmental conditions and the structure of the holes will help to predict how burrow-builders will respond to climate change."
