Gecko vs. Scorpion | 壁虎斗蝎子

English Original

When a gecko encounters a scorpion, it provokes the sightless creature with its tail. Enraged by the provocation, the scorpion strikes at the gecko with the venomous stinger on its own tail.

The gecko's tail is smooth and agile. The scorpion consistently misses its target, instead stinging itself. Infuriated, the scorpion attacks the gecko even more fiercely.

After stinging itself multiple times, the scorpion's body begins to stiffen. The gecko then relaxes and consumes the scorpion.


中文翻译

当壁虎遇到蝎子时,它会用尾巴去招惹这个没有视力的生物。被激怒的蝎子会用自己尾巴上的毒刺向壁虎发起攻击。

壁虎的尾巴光滑而灵活。蝎子总是无法蜇中目标,反而蜇伤了自己。这令蝎子更加愤怒,对壁虎发动了更猛烈的攻击。

在多次蜇伤自己之后,蝎子的身体开始变得僵硬。壁虎这才放松下来,吃掉了蝎子。
