They live in tropical humid environments around the world, except in Europe and Australia.
The Uropygids - whip scorpion is an animal that looks like a scorpion but does not have a venom gland. Its distinctive feature is a multi-jointed flagellum at the end of its abdomen, covered with numerous hairs that are sensitive to any movement of air.
Although it does not have a venom gland like a scorpion, it does have a pair of defensive anal glands located at the base of the flagellum on either side of the anus, which propel a repellent liquid.
