Fennec foxes are native to the desert- they have only a few sources of food and scorpions are one of them. If they weren't immune to the poisons of the desert, they would have died out long ago.
Doesn't mean it still doesn't hurt like crap to get stung, hence why the little fennec decided to rip out the stinger and venom sack before making the scorpion a crunchy snack.
Fennec:UGH!!!(thinks on what to do)(If I throw this guy many times...aha!he would die!!!) Scorpion:Ahh!!! Grrr hey! ugh! ouch!!!! You...won bleh... FENNEC FOX WINS! BRUTALITY :V
I don't know about fear but they certainly feel pain, or at least have pain receptors. And if you watch the video the little fella is clearly trying to escape the predator.
Old comment, sorry. The reason of this is that animals like this are not really alive in the way we are, they have no xentralized intelligence. Thus each component can function independantly regardless of the damage state
fox: u lil fgt imma getchu scorpion: no u aint ill sting u my man *scorpion stings fox* fox: u lil fgt that tickles scorpion: o my lord jesus almighty help me fox: there's no help for you now you mutated crab scorpion: pls fox, no fox: there's no mercy for you now scorpion: PLS, DONT EAT ME fox: ur getting it now scorpion: OH MY GOD MY STINGER YOU LITTLE ASSBASKET I KNOW KUNG FU fox: ye, and i know kick-a-yo-ass-fu scorpion: OH SH-*rip* rip scorpion 2012-2012
Well if you had a knife and tried to kill a person with a gun who was trying to kill you, you would kind of have to jab at them slowly until they loose their gun the gun being the stinger of the scorpion and the knife being the fennec foxes teeth
Circle of life, dude, circle of life. The fox has to eat and the scorpion is it's prey. It's not pleasant, but it is reality, and reality is rarely pleasant.
It's amazing how the fox Knows to target the tail and to get the stinger off first before anything else, and taking advantage of the loose sand to cave under it and everything :3 That on top of the probable immunity to the poison helps X3
probbaly helps that its unclear if invertebrates experience pain: if not, this means the cscorpion will never pass out from shock and can basically keep on trucking as long as vital organs are still in
Good point, but I suppose as desert dwellers Fennecs know how to conserve very well and also that is why they eat every single part of it, carapace and all with only the stinger being left out.
You keep a surprisingly still hand whilst filming in the midst of one of the most dangerous insects on the planet. I commend you, sir. Also, was that fox your pet? Regardless if it was or not, he/she is very smart... and so cute!
Out of the 1000s of scorpions on earth only 25 species are deadly to humans and of these only 1 scorpion species in the U.S. that big silly scorp is a Desert Hairy, they can cause an allergic reaction but it isn't deadly.
Actually, scorpions are not insects, they are closer to crustaceans. Also, that fox seems to be wild. I doubt a captive-born fennec fox would have had such skills to tackle a live scorpion like that, and no, instincts doesn’t equal experience, instincts can only get you so far unless you got experience to back it up.
Crazy how this thing knows not to eat the stinger, the only reason we as humans know is because we taught, if a person had never once in their life heard about a scorpion, they would have no idea that the stinger is the most dangerous part of a scorpion.
he's so smart! you can tell he really wants to go for its head, and just be done with it, but he knows he has to get rid of its tail first, so he hops arpund, beating it up until it can't use it anymore. clever little boy
wow, it's really amazing how smart the fox is!! takes extreme caution until the tail is gone. he's probably been poked by that tail before. savage how he ate it alive tho
I don't get how that works? So a Fennec fox can eat a scorpion and not be effected by its poison. But if a dog eats a black widow it dies 30 minutes later...Can someone explain this?
The scorpion itself isn't poisonous but it's stinker in its tail is. The fennec fox along with other animals in that environment have learned to bite off the tail and not ingest the poison so when you see the camera zoom it on the little black ball with a stinger that's the poison gland of the scorpion where all the poison is. Unlike the black wido if eaten you can eat a scorpion cause there's no chance of eating poison if you take off the stinger like the fennec fox did! Hope this helps out some!
judging from the video, the way they talk, and the fennec, it's most probably north-africa, and It's not a deathstalker, it's most probably a Androctonus australis
They are also super hyperactive and needs constant squirrel companions! XD I have a fennec named Tails and I have three squirrels that are named Coke, Mach, and Machtu. Dude, squirrels and fennecs are the craziest combination of pets, they love to curl up with the fox and sleep. He still smells them like he wants to eat them, but he knows they'll kick his ass too! 💟
Fennec foxes are not immune to scorpion venom, but they have adapted to eat scorpions by carefully removing the stinger before consuming them. They also have thick fur that may protect them from some stings.
When these wild animals consume poisonous animals i.e. snakes, scorpions, they are also consuming the poison, so will that not kill them? Sorry if I sound ignorant haha I'm just curious.
Its not poison, its venom. The difference is venom has to be in your blood to hurt you. Poison has to be ingested to hurt you. You could even drink a glass full of cobra venom and it not hurt you at all as long as you dont have any open wounds in your mouth, esophagus, or stomach
"wait what no this isnt how this supposed to work AHHH" also the way it was flinging that scorpion about I was expecting it to just fly into the cameraman's face
The way the fennec just ABSOLUTELY YEETS the little puny scorpion around tho, like bro imagine being a little scorpion, and then a massive beast starts chucking you around and then ripping your tail off and then eating you up.

MAYBE YOU SHOULD SHUT UP I DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO TYPE IDIOT
I like how once the tail is torn off, he starts eating the poor thing like a bacon strip.
survival of the fittest.... and smartest
I would do the same thing if I could eat them and if I wanted to eat them but hey at least the fox looks happy.
Don't feel so bad for the scorpion, it has no thoughts or agency.

Agreed.
it does not look like it's immune to that scorpions sting

You are able to digest poison the tummy, human and ànimal

Why I think you speak spanish?
Smart fox, went for the stinger first
Numberless Oats they are immune to venom and toxins so he or she is like I don't give a shit and it ate the stingers first
I have no creativity for a name It still feels the pain but it has to eat
@@kierad479 I have always loved the name Ricko or Micko for a name to a Fennec fox
I just keep wondering how the scorpion is still moving! Lol I mean really! It's missing half it body! 😂
you can say they're pretty Sly
He got rid of the sting. Wow so smart.
+Luna_〈3 Fennec Foxes are immune to scorpion venom, so if he got stung, that would be of no consequence to him.
They are? lucky bastard lol
he ate the stinger first lol
im a brony too
not many animals know to take out the stinger.

I feel bad for the Scorpion, but it's interesting how fennec fox wasn't afraid of the camera at all.
When you are hungry, you do not care about anything other than food.
Fennec are often kept as pets. They are very docile creatures.
unless you're a scorpion
I don't know about fear but they certainly feel pain, or at least have pain receptors. And if you watch the video the little fella is clearly trying to escape the predator.
Thats called nature buddy, get the fuck over it
Scorpions, they are the lobsters of the desert.
Yum! Get that fox some butter and lemon.
😆
They’re land lobsters.
holy crap that scorpion was half-way eaten and was still walking!!!!!
If someone was eating you you would still be trying to get away for as long as you could. That's why we cannibals always eat the legs first.
Old comment, sorry.
The reason of this is that animals like this are not really alive in the way we are, they have no xentralized intelligence. Thus each component can function independantly regardless of the damage state
To an arthropod, losing half of your body is merely a minor inconvenience.
Gotta admit, that scorpion put up a good fight. He was a worthy adversary.

that battle was oddly intriguing....
Kinda feel bad for the scorpion, being slowly eaten alive :/
Well if you had a knife and tried to kill a person with a gun who was trying to kill you, you would kind of have to jab at them slowly until they loose their gun
the gun being the stinger of the scorpion and the knife being the fennec foxes teeth

+drviper10 What are you on about mate? That comparison does not work in the slightest.
don't show that to vegans though, they would consider it animal cruelty
Tiago well at least it ate the whole thing
It's amazing how the fox Knows to target the tail and to get the stinger off first before anything else, and taking advantage of the loose sand to cave under it and everything :3 That on top of the probable immunity to the poison helps X3
+Alexis Newton he has a preset program par default.
ahmrou82
?
It ain't immune, it's just good at not getting stung.
Alex Panciera
well, that just makes it even more awesome X3
i thought it was a bit of both. they aren't immune but resistant and their quick enough not to take a full dose when the scorpion tries to sting them.
shyamalan plot twist.. cutest animal in the world can kill most dangerous animal in the world
Because they look like chihuahua
Some invertebrates sure are tough, that scorpion could still walk after its tail has been eaten already in 3:51
probbaly helps that its unclear if invertebrates experience pain: if not, this means the cscorpion will never pass out from shock and can basically keep on trucking as long as vital organs are still in
In Russia, Fox hunts you
I'd like to call open season on the humans responsible for that.
Scorpion: FIGHT ME BICH, I DARE YOU!!
*Stings the fox*

Subzero will need to find a new rival
alexkg1 Its ironic how i made a comment saying

Fuck, was the amount of energy it exerted catching the damn thing even worth it?
tastes even better that way
Good point, but I suppose as desert dwellers Fennecs know how to conserve very well and also that is why they eat every single part of it, carapace and all with only the stinger being left out.
HaloBoy74 it's the desert. Food is scarce there so every kill counts. Even something as stubborn and deadly as a scorpion.
Nature is neither good nor evil. It is indifferent.
Wow Amazing point of view
You keep a surprisingly still hand whilst filming in the midst of one of the most dangerous insects on the planet. I commend you, sir. Also, was that fox your pet? Regardless if it was or not, he/she is very smart... and so cute!

Looks more like a fat tail scorpion to me - one of the most deadly in the world. I have a pet desert hair and the tail / stinger are much thinner
Actually, scorpions are not insects, they are closer to crustaceans. Also, that fox seems to be wild. I doubt a captive-born fennec fox would have had such skills to tackle a live scorpion like that, and no, instincts doesn’t equal experience, instincts can only get you so far unless you got experience to back it up.
@@samuelkent7482 i think it is at least used to human presence, a normal wild fox would run if it saw a human near
Crazy how this thing knows not to eat the stinger, the only reason we as humans know is because we taught, if a person had never once in their life heard about a scorpion, they would have no idea that the stinger is the most dangerous part of a scorpion.
Jose Lara I'm pretty sure it ate the stinger.
Craddock 222+ It didn't eat the stinger, it shows the stinger in the sand near the end.
MercurytheLoner oh
Yeah I thought it ate it too at first!
Jose Lara It is a mammal, which means this is mostly learned behaviour.

He proteccc
He attackk
But most importantly he bite the scorpion on its backk
Damn deathstalker got stalked to death.

Foxes are savage predators. It's in their DNA.
there not savage when their young and have them as a pet
Well I Guess you CAN eat scorpions

Thanks for the info. Really cool to know.
If animals could speak, that scorpion would be screaming in terror.
You know you're watching a badass when instead of breaking the stinger off before eating the rest of it, he eats the stinger FIRST THING.
+Thomas Fairfield At close to the end of the video the cameraman shows us the stinger he chewed off and then left.
