125 million years old, this prehistoric scorpion roamed ancient China’s forests during the Early Cretaceous!
It wasn’t tiny—Jeholia grew larger than modern scorpions, making it a true ancient predator.
Discovered in Liaoning Province, Yixian Formation fossils revealed stunning details of this ancient arachnid.
Scientists believe it hunted both on land and near water—double the hunting ground, double the threat!
Jeholia shared its ecosystem with feathered dinosaurs and ancient crocodiles—imagine those food chain dynamics!
Its claws crushed prey, while its venomous stinger ensured a swift takedown. Prehistoric efficiency!
Jeholia bridges a gap between marine scorpions and today’s land-dwellers—true evolutionary gold.
