Southern blue-ringed octopus
The southern blue-ringed octopus is a small octopus that lives in tidal rock pools and rocky reefs along the south coast of Australia. It is one of four extremely venomous blue-ringed octopus species. Its body is usually drab, but its blue rings flash when it feels threatened.1

Yoo ciniine
- Get immediate medical attention, because a bite is often fatal without it. No antivenom exists.1
- Dhiibbaa fi sochii dhorkuu (pressure immobilisation): baandeejii lastikii jabaa bakka ciniiname irratti, sana booda harka ykn miila guutuu irra marsi, muka qajeelaa (splint) itti hidhi, hanga gargaarsi dhufutti namicha guutumaan guutuutti sochii malee tursiisi.
- Oktopasiin marsaa cuquliisaa qabu ykn qocaan koonii nama osoo dammaqaa jiruu hargansuu dhaabuu danda'u: gargaarsa waami, hanga ambulaansiin dhufee itti fufutti hafuura afaaniin kennuuf qophaa'i.
Yeroo hunda dursa lakkoofsa balaa tasaa kee bilbili (112, 000, 911). Kun qajeelfama gargaarsa jalqabaa waliigalaa ti, gorsa yaalaa miti. Bu'uura gargaarsa jalqabaa

Dhugaawwan
Females only reproduce once in their lifetime. After the eggs hatch, the mother dies shortly afterwards, as she does not eat while guarding them.1
Young blue-ringed octopuses have no planktonic stage. They begin hunting at around one month old.1
The average lifespan is around seven months. The octopus reaches sexual maturity at about four months old.1
Females are choosy about mates. They are more willing to mate with larger males, and larger males try to mate more often than smaller ones.1
Soba diigaa
Soba: Popular culture portrays the southern blue-ringed octopus as a sea devil that lies in wait to attack humans.
Dhugaa: Its venom is mainly used for hunting or defence. There are no reported cases of unprovoked aggression towards humans.1
