The round ribbontail ray is a large stingray that lives in warm, shallow seas across the Indo-Pacific, from South Africa to Japan and Australia. It can grow to 1.8 m across, and it is valued by divers for its size and striking look. It has a venomous tail spine, so it is one to admire from a distance.1

It hunts bivalves, crabs, shrimps, and small bony fishes on the seabed. It presses the edge of its disc against the bottom and blows water through its spiracles to uncover prey buried in the sand.1

Kako nevarna je za ljudi?

Nevarnost za ljudi: ResnoPo piku je potreben zdravnik. Smrtni primeri so zelo redki.

It is not aggressive and has been known to approach and investigate divers. If harassed, it can inflict a severe wound with its venomous tail spine. At least one diver has died after being stabbed while trying to ride one.1

Kaj naredi, ko se prestraši?

When threatened, it raises its tail over its back with the spine facing forward and waves it back and forth.1

Če piči

Rano daj v vročo vodo, tako vročo, kot jo poškodovanec prenese, ne da bi se opekel (preizkusi jo s svojo roko), za 30 do 90 minut. Poišči zdravniško pomoč, še posebej pri kamnitih ribah in morskih bičih.

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 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

It is one of the largest stingray species, reaching 150 kg in weight.1

Females can be pursued by dozens of males during reproductive gatherings, which have been seen in groups of hundreds at Cocos Island.1

Smaller fishes such as jacks and cobia often follow it, feeding on food stirred up by its movements or sheltering behind its body.1

It is mostly active at night and rests motionless during the day, often in caves or under ledges.1

Razbijalec mitov

Mit: The round ribbontail ray is an aggressive animal that attacks swimmers.

Resnica: It is not aggressive. It will defend itself with its venomous tail spine only if it is harassed or provoked.1
