Forza dal tissi

Spinas tissientadas

Spinas pizzadas portan il tissi. Sch'ins passa sin el u al piglia, fa quai mal.

Tge fa ses tissi?

When attacked, the bullhead stiffens the sharp spine on the front edge of its dorsal and pectoral fins. While doing this, it releases venom that stings and burns the predator.1

Quant privlus è el per umans?

Privel per umans: DolurusQuai po far propi mal, ma i n'è bunamain mai grav.

Its fin spines can sting and burn, which is its main defence against predators. Treat any caught fish with care and avoid handling its spines.1

Tge fa el, cura ch'el ha tema?

When attacked, it stiffens its fin spines to make it harder for a predator to swallow it, and releases venom to sting and burn.1

Sche sias spinas ta furan

  • Metta la plaja en aua chauda, uschè chauda sco che la persuna po supportar senza sa brischar (emprova cun tes agen maun), durant 30 fin 90 minutas. Tschertga agid medicinal, surtut tar peschs crap e rajas.

Resta en segirezza

  • Na tutga, na piglia e na tizza mai in animal selvadi, gnanc in pitschen, ed era sch'el para da durmir u d'esser mort.
