Now, these little critters might be the size of your boot heel, but don't let that fool you, they've got more grit than a desert sandstorm and pack a mean punch. Los alacranes have been roaming our Tejas terrain since before the Alamo, if you even remember that. Who knows, if you listen closely on a quiet desert night, you might just hear the tiniest "yeehaw" coming from under a rock. But beware, they're not half as cute as they may sound.
