The largest scorpion to walk the Earth was the size of a baseball bat

Scientists identified Praearcturus gigas, a 1-meter-long scorpion that lived 415 million years ago in what is now Great Britain. The study, published in Palaeontology, used fossils from London's Natural History Museum and new discoveries to revise its classification from crustacean to scorpion, highlighting the importance of revisiting scientific findings.
