When these scorpions curl up like this they are no more than half an inch long. But, full grown scorpions get quite a bit larger.

Apparently a long time ago someone released a bunch of burros into the desert above Phoenix. Now they are wild and run in a few herds.

Desert Hawks

This looks like it would really hurt.

Even though they might be happy animals just out for an evening flight,

they still always look pissed off and serious.
