Scientists have confirmed the claim of Indiana Jones, a pseudo-archaeologist, that small species of scorpions are more venomous.
Researchers at NUI Galloway analyzed 36 species of scorpions and found that the smallest species was 100 times more venomous than the largest species.
The team of researchers began investigating whether Indiana Jones’ claims were true or just a movie dialogue.
The team analyzed 36 species of scorpions, including The Death Stalker, The Rock Scorpion, and The Bark Scorpion.
Their analysis included measuring the average length of scorpions and their potential venom.
Their results confirm Jones’ claims that the smaller the scorpion, the more deadly its venom.
The venom of the Brazilian yellow scorpion, which is barely 2-3 inches, was 100 times more deadly than the venom of the 8.3-inch-long rock scorpion.
However, toxicity was not just about body size, it was also about their pins. (Indiana Jones’ claim)
