Scorpion Habitats

Scorpions are found in a variety of habitats around the world, primarily in regions with warm, dry climates.

Some of the key regions that are home to scorpions include:
 

• Deserts – The most iconic habitat for scorpions. They thrive in the deserts of the southwestern United States (such as the Mojave and Sonoran deserts), Mexico, North Africa (Sahara Desert), and the Middle East.
   

• Tropical and Subtropical Areas – Scorpions can also be found in tropical rainforests, such as those in South America, Southeast Asia, and parts of Africa.
   

• Grasslands and Savannas – Scorpions can live in semi-arid areas like savannas and grasslands, where the climate is relatively dry but not as harsh as deserts.
   

• Mountainous Regions – Some scorpions are adapted to high altitudes and can be found in mountainous areas, including parts of the Himalayas and the Andes.

 

Scorpions are highly adaptable and can survive in many environments, as long as they can find shelter during the day and come out at night to hunt.
