An animal with the word whip in it's name?

Hello.  A BIRD IS AN ANIMAL.   HELLO?????

Good thing I didn't become a vet.    

Oh you know tons, I know that already.   But even insects are part of the animal kingdom.  Therefore we need insect whips too.  I can think of zero.


Here we go....


Whip Scorpion

Whip scorpions, also known as vinegaroons, are very different from true scorpions. Although they share traits, whip scorpions possess a number of qualities that true scorpions don't have.

The name “vinegaroon” comes from the vinegar-smelling spray that whip scorpions release when they are bothered. This spray has acetic acid in it, which gives the spray its distinct scent. Whip scorpions are arachnids, so they have eight legs, with two front pincers, like a true scorpion. They have adapted their two front legs to act as sensory organs for hunting prey. Whip scorpions also have tails, but they are unlike scorpion tails, because they lack a stinger and venom sacs. These tails are thin and long.

Whip scorpions originate in subtropical and tropical regions of the world. They burrow under logs, bark and rock, where they exist during the day. Whip scorpions will also burrow underground. Like true scorpions, these scorpions hunt at night. They capture their prey, which is made up of millipedes and other insects, and bring it back to their burrows to feed. Whip scorpions help to control the roach population. This can be beneficial to humans. This post was edited by WM BARR . =ABSOLUTE TRASH at August 4, 2017 10:05 AM MDT
