Grey side-gilled sea slug
Otrovno za jeloJede: MesoOtrovno na dodir ili za jelo, ne ugrizom ili ubodomThe grey side-gilled sea slug is a soft-bodied sea snail without a shell, found in the sea around New Zealand, south-eastern Australia and parts of Asia. It is poisonous rather than venomous: it does not bite or sting, but eating it can be dangerous. It became a public concern in New Zealand in 2009, when several dogs died after eating it.1

Kako ga prepoznati
- Mottled pale grey body, densely patterned with short, brown broken lines1
- Wedge-shaped head with two sensory tentacles, called rhinophores1
- Smooth body covering (mantle) with folds and puckers, and a foot that extends well beyond it1
- No remnant of a shell1
- Feathery gill tucked under the right side of the mantle1
Snaga otrova
Štetno je samo ako ga nešto pojede.
Što radi njegov otrov ako ga dotakneš ili pojedeš?
It does not have venom. Its harm comes from tetrodotoxin, a poison that attacks the nerves. In 2009, several dogs in the Auckland Region of New Zealand died of tetrodotoxin poisoning after eating this slug on beaches.1
Koliko je opasno za ljude?
Opasnost za ljude: Vrlo opasnoMože ubiti osobu koja ne dobije liječenje.In 2009, several dogs died in the Auckland Region after eating this slug, and children and pet owners were asked to avoid beaches. Recreational fishing was also interrupted for a time. Investigators found the slugs most likely picked up the poison from dead fish they fed on, and similar poisoning has not happened again.1
Ako ga je netko dotaknuo ili pojeo

Ostani na sigurnom
- Nikad ne diraj, ne hvataj i ne zadirkuj divlju životinju, čak ni malu, i čak ni ako izgleda kao da spava ili je mrtva.
- Ostavi joj prostora. Ako je sretneš, ne paniči, polako se odmakni i pusti je da ode svojim putem.
- Ako ga dotakneš ili pojedeš: ne trljaj oči ni usta, operi ruke i potraži liječničku pomoć.
Ne želi ti ništa loše. Njegov otrov služi samo tome da ga nitko ne pojede. Više o sigurnosti

Činjenice
Its poison is tetrodotoxin, the same kind of toxin found in some pufferfish.1
It has no shell, although it is a type of sea snail (gastropod mollusc).1
It lives for 2 to 3 years and dies after spawning in winter.1
It has spread far beyond its native range, reaching about 2,000 km of the south-western Atlantic coast after it was first reported in Argentina in 2009.1
Its eggs hatch into free-swimming larvae that drift as plankton for about three weeks before settling.1
Razbijač mitova
Mit: Every grey side-gilled sea slug is dangerously poisonous.
Istina: Differences in toxicity between regions are likely due to differences in diet, not to separate species. The poison most likely comes from the food the slug eats, such as dead fish.1
