African crested rat
Strup v kožiJe: RastlineStrupena za dotik ali zaužitje, ne ob ugrizu ali pikuThe African crested rat is a large, nocturnal rodent with long hair and a bushy tail. It looks a little like a porcupine. It lives in East Africa, where it is the world's only known poisonous rodent, coating itself in plant toxins to keep predators away.1

Kako jo prepoznaš
- Large, nocturnal rodent with long, silver and black-tipped guard hairs over a woolly grey and white undercoat1
- A mane of longer black-and-white banded hairs runs from the top of the head to just beyond the base of the tail1
- A broad, white-bordered strip of glandular skin sits beside the mane, and it becomes visible when the animal is threatened1
- Bushy tail and short black fur on the face and limbs1
- Superficially resembles a porcupine1
Moč strupa
Njena koža je strupena. Nevarno se je je dotakniti, jo polizati ali pojesti.
Kaj naredi njen strup, če se je dotakneš ali jo poješ?
This animal is poisonous rather than venomous, so it does not bite or sting to inject poison. It smears poison from the bark of the poison arrow tree onto the hairs of its glandular skin patch. A predator that bites it can be sickened or even killed by this poison.1
Kako nevarna je za ljudi?
Nevarnost za ljudi: ResnoČe se je kdo dotakne ali jo poje, naj gre k zdravniku. Smrtni primeri so zelo redki.Its poison is a risk to predators that try to bite it. The rat itself is not harmed by the toxins it stores.1
Kaj naredi, ko se prestraši?
When threatened or excited, the mane stands up and the glandular strip parts, exposing the skin that carries the poison.1
Če se je je kdo dotaknil ali jo pojedel
- Če jo je kdo pojedel ali ima po zaužitju simptome: takoj pokliči številko za klic v sili ali center za zastrupitve.
Vedno najprej pokliči številko za klic v sili (112, 000, 911). To so splošna navodila za prvo pomoč, ne zdravniški nasvet. Osnove prve pomoči
Ostani varen
- Nikoli se ne dotikaj divje živali, je ne lovi in je ne draži, tudi če je majhna in tudi če je videti, kot da spi ali je mrtva.
- Pusti ji prostor. Če jo srečaš, ostani miren, počasi stopi nazaj in jo pusti, da gre svojo pot.
- Če si se je dotaknil ali jo pojedel: ne drgni si oči ali ust, umij si roke in poišči zdravniško pomoč.
Ne preži nate. Njen strup je tam samo zato, da je nihče ne poje. Več o varnosti

Dejstva
It is the world's only known poisonous rodent.1
It is the only rodent known to use and store toxins from a different species in nature to protect itself, and it suffers no known harm from them.1
Its stomach has five anatomically distinct sections, a feature found in very few rodents.1
The skull is covered with small bony projections that give it a pebbled look.1
Its large size may allow microbes in its foregut to break down cellulose from plants by fermentation.1
Razbijalec mitov
Mit: The maned rat was believed to be solitary.
Resnica: It is now known to be somewhat sociable. Several animals are found in the same territory, and they purr and groom one another, so they may form family groups of a male, a female and their young.1
