A scorpion will travel through the desert with it's stinger (tail) out ready to attack it's prey so the scorpion can eat it. The scorpion will mostly stay under rocks where it is cooler than out in the boiling sun. They roam around at night to avoid the heat of the daytime sun.
Scorpions, in deserts, keep cool by burying themselves in sand and come out at night to hunt since it's cooler. They also conserve water in their thick skins. Some species of scorpions have long bnodies and tolerates heat but not humidity.
The deathstalker scorpion survives in the Sahara desert by being an opportunistic predator. They hydrate from the liquids consumed as they eat their prey, rather than drinking water. They can also slow their metabolism down to one-third the normal rate, allowing them to survive on only one or two insects a year, if they need to.
Scorpions remain underground or under rocks, tree bark or other such items during the heat of the day and only emerge at night to feed and breed.
