Heterometrus Nepalensis

Among the new finds are three species of scorpion, one of which was described from the Chitwan National Park in Nepal in 2004. This discovery was particularly significant as it was the first species of scorpion ever to be discovered in the country. The 8cm long, reddish-black species has a smooth carapace, and a reddish-brown tail tip or telson that contains the venom. (WWF)
