This zoology title for children, filled with beautiful photos and factual life science text, examines the animal's anatomy, hunting and feeding habits, life cycle, and hatchling care. Its global habitats are described, too. A myth from ancient Greece explains how Orion and a giant scorpion became constellations in the night sky.
