Kids Encyclopedia Facts

Isla de los Alacranes (Scorpion Island) is a small island located in Lake Chapala. This lake is found in the Mexican state of Jalisco.

The island gets its name because it looks like a scorpion from above. In Mexico, people often use the word "alacrán" for the smaller, more dangerous types of scorpions. The word "escorpión" is usually used for larger, darker scorpions that are less venomous.
