Spotted ratfish
The spotted ratfish is a chimaera, a cartilage fish related to sharks and rays. It lives in the northeastern Pacific Ocean, and divers often see it at night in the Pacific Northwest. It gets its name from its pointed, rat-like tail.1

Mphamvu ya ululu
Minga yakuthwa imanyamula ululu. Kuiponda kapena kuigwira kumapweteka.
Ululu wake umachita chiyani?
The spine on the leading edge of its dorsal fin is grooved and connected to a venom gland at its base. The venom is mildly toxic. A sting from the spine causes a painful wound.1
Ndi yoopsa bwanji kwa anthu?
Ngozi kwa anthu: YopwetekaIngathe kupweteka kwambiri, koma pafupifupi nthawi zonse si vuto lalikulu.It does not present a serious danger to humans, but its spines can cause painful wounds. Harbor seals have been known to die after swallowing spotted ratfish, when a spine pierced the stomach or esophagus.1
Imachita chiyani ikachita mantha?
It usually keeps a safe distance from divers and is not aggressive, but it will defend its territory with the spine on its dorsal fin if it feels invaded.1
Minga yake ikakubaya
- Ika bala m'madzi otentha, otentha monga momwe munthuyo angapirire osapsa (yesa ndi dzanja lako), kwa mphindi 30 mpaka 90. Peza thandizo la dokotala, makamaka pa stonefish ndi stingray.
Nthawi zonse yamba wayimbira nambala yadzidzidzi (112, 000, 911). Awa ndi malangizo wamba a chithandizo choyamba, osati malangizo a dokotala. Zoyambira za chithandizo choyamba
Khala wotetezeka
- Usakhudze, kugwira kapena kuseweretsa nyama yakuthengo, ngakhale yaing'ono, ndipo ngakhale ikuoneka ngati yagona kapena yafa.
- Ipatse malo. Ukakumana nayo, khala chete, bwerera m'mbuyo pang'onopang'ono ndipo uilole ipite njira yake.
- Minga yake ikakubaya: khala chete, usasunthe, imbira nambala yadzidzidzi (112, 000, 911) kapena pita kuchipatala mwachangu. Kumbukira m'mene inkaonekera, chithunzi chimathandiza.
Sikufuna kukuvulaza. Imagwiritsa ntchito ululu wake kugwira chakudya kapena kudziteteza, ndipo imakonda kwambiri kubisala. Zambiri za kukhala wotetezeka
Kuti padziko lapansi?
Ndi yaikulu bwanji?
Ndi yaitali bwanji?
yaitali ngati amphaka apakhomo 2 mphuno ndi mchira motsatizana
yaitali ngati nthochi 5 zoyalidwa motsatizana
ingasambire kutalika kwa dziwe lalikulu losambira (50 m) m'masekondi 12Spotted ratfish ndi yaikulu bwanji poyerekeza ndi IWE?
Ndi masamu chabe mu msakatuli wako. Palibe chomwe chimasungidwa kapena kutumizidwa kwina.
Imathamanga bwanji?
Mfundo
Adult males have a club-like cephalic clasper on the head, an organ not found in any other vertebrate, which they use to hold on to females during courtship.1
Its large eyes reflect light, much like the eyes of a cat.1
It swims with its large pectoral fins, and its barrel rolls and corkscrew turns have been described as aquatic flight.1
Its teeth are plate-shaped, mineralised and permanent, unlike the easily replaced teeth of sharks, and they help it grind prey.1
Its ampullary organs on the head detect electric fields, and they are homologous to the ampullae of Lorenzini found in sharks and rays.1
Its meat is not typically eaten by humans and it is not commercially caught.1
