Why are some baby animals in more danger than others?

Many baby animals have violent ways of defending themselves against predators. This makes them extremely dangerous. For instance, scorpions are dangerous even as babies. Scorpions have possibly one of the worst reputations in the entire animal kingdom and they are not especially attractive either.

Despite being feared the world over, most scorpion stings are not potent enough to cause death in human beings. This doesn’t stop the stings hurting and many can cause serious illness, but only a handful of scorpions have fatal stings. The most dangerous scorpions are found in areas of Mexico, the Middle East and the Sahara Desert.
