Giant Whip Scorpion (Mastigoproctus giganteus) in Arizona 🦂🦂🦂😱☮💖🔵

This Giant Whip Scorpion (Mastigoproctus giganteus) startled me while I was grilling ribs. The Whip Scorpion isn't actually a scorpion, nor is it venomous or dangerous to humans in any way. They are pretty docile, but if agitated, have a defensive spray that is 85% acetic acid, the same acid that makes vinegar - vinegar. So the spray smells of vinegar, which has led to the colloquialism "vinegaroon." Please hit the "âž•" button, and SUBSCRIBE for more Microcosm Wildlife vids.
