Geography cone
PiztgadasThe geography cone is a predatory sea snail that lives on shallow tropical reefs in the Indo-Pacific. It hunts small fish. Its venom is strong enough to kill a person, which makes it one of the most dangerous cone snails.1
Co renconuscher el
- Broad, thin shell that is cylindrically inflated, usually 10 to 15 cm long1
- Ground colour is pink or violet-white, sometimes reddish1
- Mottled pattern of chestnut or chocolate brown, usually forming two irregular bands1
- Wide pink or violet-white opening and numerous shoulder ridges or spines1
Savens confundì cun: Compared with other cone shells of a similar size, the geography cone has a noticeably wider, more convex middle and a flattened spire. Its walls are also thinner and lighter.1
Forza dal tissi

Tge fa ses tissi?
Its venom is a complex mix of hundreds of different toxins, delivered through the harpoon-like tooth. It has the most toxic sting known among cone snails. Even the most venomous cone snails take about one to five hours to kill a healthy adult, but medical care must still be prompt.1
Quant privlus è el per umans?
Privel per umans: MortalIn dals animals ils pli privlus dal mund.There are reports of about 36 human deaths over the past 300 years. Live specimens should be handled with extreme caution.1
Tge fa el, cura ch'el ha tema?
Most of the venom's toxic compounds are believed to be used for defence rather than feeding.1
Sch'el piztga
- There is no antivenom for a cone snail sting. Treatment consists of keeping the victim alive until the symptoms wear off, so prompt medical care is essential.1
- Immobilisaziun cun squitsch: envolva ina bandascha elastica ferma sur la morsa e lura vi da l'entir member ensi, fixescha el cun ina stecca e tegna la persuna dal tut immobila, fin che l'agid arriva.
- In polip cun anels blaus u ina lindorna conica po far che ina persuna na respira betg pli, entant ch'ella è anc dasda: clama agid e sajas pront da dar respiraziun artifiziala, fin che l'equipa da l'ambulanza surpiglia.

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.
- Dà spazi a l'animal. Sche ti scuntras in, resta calm, va plaun enavos e lascha ir el per sia via.

Fatgs
Its venom contains a form of insulin, which it uses to stun fish. Once the venom passes through a fish's gills, the fish goes into hypoglycaemic shock (a dangerous drop in blood sugar).1
Apart from the tulip cone snail, no other known living thing is known to use its own biological insulin as a weapon.1
Research shows that some proteins from cone snail venom can be up to 10,000 times more effective than morphine as painkillers, without morphine's addictive properties and side effects.1
Of the venom's 100 to 200 toxic peptides, only 15 to 20 are used for feeding.1
Adult geography cones can fall prey to sea turtles, rays, birds and human shell collectors.1
Destructur da mits
Mit: The nickname 'cigarette snail' means a sting gives you just enough time to smoke a cigarette before you die.
Vardad: This is a gallows humour exaggeration. Even the most venomous cone snails take about one to five hours to kill a healthy human.1
