The body design of the Fattail scorpion has a beautiful look to it. The Fattail scorpion's body can be divided into the [[cephalothorax]] and the [[abdomen]]. The cephalothorax is the scorpions head. The cephalothorax has six pairs of [[appendages]] and a pair of [[eyes]] on top, with a few other pairs of eyes on the corners of their head. The head is also covered by a [[carapace]], which is basically the upper part of the [[exoskeleton]]. The [[mesosoma]] is the front part of the abdomen. This is made up of six segments. The first segment mainly has the reproductive organs. The second segment has some sensory structures called [[pectines]], and all of the other segments have book lungs for respiration. <ref> [http://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Scorpion Scorpion] "New World Encyclopedia".

The [[tail]] of the Fattail scorpion is extremely venomous. In fact, the Fattail scorpion is one of the more poisonous scorpions in the worlds. The tail is covered in tiny [[setae]] that act as sensory detectors. <ref> [http://www.arkive.org/arabian-fat-tailed-scorpion/androctonus-crassicauda/ Arabian fat-tailed scorpion fact file] "Arkive".

If a human is stung by the tail, they could die but still have a good chance of living. The tail of the scorpion is unusually fat(giving it the name), which can help it be recognized. This [[genus]] cannot easily be identified by color, because the difference in color is immense. The Androctonus australis is a light yellowish color, while the Androcctonus crassicauda is a dark brown or blackish color. The main means of identification for this genus of scorpion is the unusually large tail, because other scorpions have much thinner tails. | ||
