What manner of scorpion are we looking at here? Dismemberer or poisoner?

Edible. Though I'd WAG that modern Fehnniks would use UV lights to flourensce them, much quicker. (and can see traditionalists grumping about the lack of technique)

I was wondering what method the scorpion uses to render it's prey edible - which would be a rather major factor in the early stages in how you make it edible.

You grab it by the tail first, either breaking it off entirely or just immobilizing it so you can grab the thing by the upper area of the carapace and deal with the pinchers and legs at your leisure. At least, that's how I do it. Hadn't really considered the scorpion's point of view. Do understand the threat/non-threat of the tail versus pinchers.

This suggests one that uses it's venom to incapacitate it's prey and uses the claws to deliver the killing blow - you'd be well advised to use an implement - longish knife or a stick or similar - to completely remove the tail on a one that's dangerously venomous before killing it.

I hear they're attracted to grapes. Fennecs that is :>

You can also give them cranberries to make their pee reek less.

Father and son ??

Elder and younger, so could be.

Foggy fehnniks?

Gloom of the night.

Ahh, yeah.

Fehnniks don't need no steenking ultraviolet! They have built-in SONAR to locate their prey. I had an Australian Cattle Dog and an Australian Kelpie who used their big 'racket-funnels' to stalk bugs in the front yard. It was a riot to watch these two girls standing stock still, cocking their heads to and fro and swiveling those big ears. They were seldom disappointed hunters. We didn't have a mole problem inside their yard, either. The tunnel would cross under their fence, and stop with a little pit, like an exclamation point!

That's what the traditionalists would grump. And the techies would come back that it made things quicker and more efficent, especially in noisy conditions and at a distance.

ooo - looks COLD.
