Geography cone
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

Sida loo aqoonsado
- 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
Inta badan lagu khaldaa: 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

Maxay samaysaa suntiisa (qaniin ama mudid)?
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

Muxuu sameeyaa marka uu baqo?
Most of the venom's toxic compounds are believed to be used for defence rather than feeding.1
Haddii uu mudo
- 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
- Xirid cadaadis iyo dhaqdhaqaaq la'aan: faashad laastik ah oo adag ku duub meesha la qaniinay, kadib xubinta oo dhan kor u duub, ku xir lox adag (splint), oo qofka si buuxda uga dhig mid aan dhaqaaqin ilaa caawimaaddu ka timaaddo.
- Oktobaska giraanta buluugga ah ama qolofleyda koonka waxay joojin karaan neefsashada qofka isagoo weli miyir qaba: caawimaad wac oo diyaar u ahow inaad siiso neef samatabbixin ilaa ambalaasku ka la wareego.

Badbaado
- Weligaa ha taaban, ha qaban, hana ku ciyaarin xayawaan duurjoog ah, xitaa mid yar, xitaa haddii uu u muuqdo inuu hurdo ama dhintay.
- Meel u bannee. Haddii aad mid la kulanto, deg, tartiib dib ugu noqo oo u daa inuu jidkiisa maro.
- Haddii mid ku mudo: deg, ha dhaqaaqin, wac lambarka gurmadka degdegga ah (112, 000, 911) ama si degdeg ah u tag isbitaalka. Xusuuso sida uu u egyahay, sawir ayaa caawiya.
Kuma raadinayo. Suntiisa wuxuu u isticmaalaa inuu cunto ku qabsado ama isku difaaco, wuxuuna aad u door bidaa inuu dhuunto. Wax badan oo ku saabsan badbaadada

Xaqiiqooyin
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
Beeniye-jabiye
Khuraafaad: The nickname 'cigarette snail' means a sting gives you just enough time to smoke a cigarette before you die.
Run: This is a gallows humour exaggeration. Even the most venomous cone snails take about one to five hours to kill a healthy human.1
