Classification and Nomenclature
Stony terrain and sandy soil are the natural habitat of scorpions. They are often found under crevices and flat stones. They are naturally solitary, but are found in large numbers under stones at the beginning of the rainstorm. They are predators living on flies, cockroaches and other pests and suck only fluids from their prey's bodies. Sucking takes more than two hours. There is also self-devotion in these. While moving, they keep their lateral joints, which act as tentacles and prehensile organs, horizontally. The body is raised on the feet, the tail is bent forward on the back and the sting is bent downwards on the back. Scorpions develop tactile vision and have little vision.
They are viviparous. Newborn babies live on the mother's back. Breeding takes place on the hot days of the rainforest. Male and female perform nuptial dance at the time of confluence. The male moves backwards, holding the female's hindsight with its retractor, and the female usually accompanies it voluntarily. They roam round and round. Finally the male digs the pit under a suitable stone while holding the female, and then both go into it. After the confluence, the female swallows the male.
Delivery and accommodation
The Indian peacock is a breeder of the Indian subcontinent and is found in the Sri Lankan arid lowlands. In South Asia, it is found under an altitude of 1800 meters and in some rare circumstances at an altitude of 2000 meters. It is found in moist and dry deciduous forests, but it lives in farming areas and around human settlements. K are adapted and usually found where water is available. In many parts of northern India, where they are protected by religious sentiment and depend on villages and towns for fodder. Some have suggested that the peacock was introduced into Europe by Alexander the Great, while others suggest that the birds reached Athens around 450 BCE and may have been there even earlier. Later It has been introduced in many other parts of the world and in some areas it is a wild creature.

In Gir forest of Gujarat, a large percentage of their food is ziziphus, the fallen fruit from the trees. Around cultivated areas, paddy, groundnut , Tomatoes are widely eaten by peacocks of crops such as peppers and bananas. Around human settlements, they depend on discarded food and even human excrement
Reproduction
Peacocks are polygamous and the breeding season is widespread but depends on rainfall. Many males congregate along the lake and are often close relatives. Males form a small kingdom on the lake and allow females to roam there and do not attempt to secure the harem. Females do not appear with any specific males. Males raise their wings and invite them for courtship. The wings are half-open and produce a periodic sound by shaking them vigorously in the downward phase. The male jumps and jumps in front of the female's face and sometimes moves around and then displays his wings.Males also invite the female to courtship by showing food.Males do not belong to the female But it can also be performed. When a male performs, the female exhibits no attraction and continues to feed.South India has extreme weather in April – May, Sri Lanka in January – March, and northern India in June. The nest is shallow in shape and has leaves, branches, and other debris on its bottom. Nests sometimes occur on buildings as well and it has also been recorded that nests are abandoned by abandoned platforms and Indian white vultures. The nests have 4–8 fawn eggs that are cared for only The female does. The eggs hatch after 28 days. The chickens start to follow the mother as soon as they come out after hatching. Their youngsters sometimes climb on the mothers' backs and the female delivers them safely to the tree.Sometimes unusual information is also given It has been said that males are also taking care of eggs.
