The 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

Živi v

Red Sea, Indian Ocean (including off Madagascar, Mozambique and Tanzania), Indo-Pacific reefs, and off northern and western Australia and Queensland1

Indijski ocean, Tihi ocean, Koralno morje, Filipinsko morje, Timorsko in Arafursko morje, Bengalski zaliv

Domov

It lives in the sediment of shallow reefs in tropical seas.1

Dolžina

4,3 cm do 17 cm (1,7 in do 6,5 in)1

Največja hitrost

približno 0,01 km/h (0,01 mph)

Plavanje, groba ocena

Kaj je?

It eats small fish. It fires a harpoon-like, venom-tipped tooth into its prey. The harpoon is attached to the snail by a proboscis (a tube-like feeding organ), and the prey is pulled inside to be eaten.1

Kako jo prepoznaš

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

Pogosto zamenjujejo z: 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

Moč strupa

Piki

Strup pride ven skozi želo.

Kaj naredi njen strup, ko ugrizne ali piči?

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

Kako nevarna je za ljudi?

Nevarnost za ljudi: Smrtno nevarnaEna najnevarnejših živali na svetu.

There are reports of about 36 human deaths over the past 300 years. Live specimens should be handled with extreme caution.1

Kaj naredi, ko se prestraši?

Most of the venom's toxic compounds are believed to be used for defence rather than feeding.1

Če piči

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
Imobilizacija s pritiskom: čvrsto ovij elastični povoj čez ugriz in nato navzgor po celem udu, ud imobiliziraj z opornico in poškodovanca drži popolnoma pri miru, dokler ne pride pomoč.
Modroobročkasta hobotnica ali stožčasti polž lahko človeku ustavi dihanje, medtem ko je še pri zavesti: pokliči pomoč in bodi pripravljen dajati umetne vpihe, dokler reševalci ne prevzamejo.

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 te piči: ostani miren, ne premikaj se, pokliči številko za klic v sili (112, 000, 911) ali hitro pojdi v bolnišnico. Zapomni si, kako je izgledala, fotografija pomaga.

Ne preži nate. Strup uporablja, da ulovi hrano ali se zaščiti, in se veliko raje skrije. Več o varnosti

Dejstva

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

Razbijalec mitov

Mit: The nickname 'cigarette snail' means a sting gives you just enough time to smoke a cigarette before you die.

Resnica: This is a gallows humour exaggeration. Even the most venomous cone snails take about one to five hours to kill a healthy human.1
