Kenya Scorpion

[pannaking22]

I found this beauty under a rock near the Mpala research area in Kenya (the hippo pools to be precise). Any thoughts on the species?

Is that the only picture you have?

Definitely a Parabuthus species. Ironically, the place I usually go to to identify scorpions just called it Parabuthus sp. Kenya.

I think it's Parabuthus pallidus.
