Wanyama wengine wenye sumu ya kugusa au kula

Sumu ndani ya ngoziHula: Kidogo cha kila kituSumu ya kugusa au kula, hadungi sumu

Hatari kwa watu: InaumaInaweza kuuma sana, lakini karibu kamwe si jambo zito.

The hooded pitohui is a songbird with reddish-brown and black feathers that lives in the forests of New Guinea. It is one of the few birds known to be poisonous, and its toxins are held in its skin and feathers, so it is best left alone.1

Anadunga sumu au ana sumu ya kugusa? Wanyama wanaodunga sumu huingiza sumu kwa kuuma au kudunga. Wanyama wenye sumu ya kugusa au kula hudhuru wakiguswa au kuliwa. Huyu ni wa aina ya pili.

Jinsi ya kumtambua

Black upperwing, head, chin, throat, upper breast and tail1
Rest of the plumage is reddish brown1
Black bill and legs1
Males and females look alike1
Young birds look like adults, but their tail and wing feathers are tinged with brown1

Mara nyingi huchanganywa na: Other pitohuis are also poisonous and share a similar plumage, which is an example of convergent evolution. The non-poisonous juvenile greater melampitta has plumage similar to the hooded pitohui, which is Batesian mimicry.1

Nguvu ya sumu

Sumu ndani ya ngozi

Ngozi yake ina sumu. Ni hatari kumgusa, kumramba au kumla.

Sumu yake hufanya nini?

This bird is poisonous rather than venomous. Its skin, feathers and other tissues contain batrachotoxin compounds, including homobatrachotoxin, which is a neurotoxin that attacks the nerves. In 1990, scientists preparing museum skins of this bird felt numbness and burning when handling them.1

Ana hatari gani kwa watu?

Hatari kwa watu: InaumaInaweza kuuma sana, lakini karibu kamwe si jambo zito.

Local hunters know the bird is toxic and avoid it. Harm is most likely from handling the skin or feathers, since the toxins are concentrated there.1

Hufanya nini akiogopa?

Its toxins are thought to deter predators and to help protect it from feather lice and ticks. Its bright, contrasting plumage may warn predators that it is distasteful.1

Mtu akimgusa au kumla

Mtu akimla au akipata dalili baada ya kumla: piga namba ya dharura au kituo cha taarifa za sumu mara moja.

Daima piga namba ya dharura kwanza (112, 000, 911). Huu ni mwongozo wa jumla wa huduma ya kwanza, si ushauri wa kitabibu. Misingi ya huduma ya kwanza

Kaa salama

Kamwe usimguse, kumkamata wala kumchokoza mnyama wa porini, hata akiwa mdogo, na hata akionekana amelala au amekufa.
Mpe nafasi. Ukikutana naye, tulia, rudi nyuma polepole na umwache aende zake.
Ukimgusa au kumla: usisugue macho wala mdomo, nawa mikono na utafute msaada wa kitabibu.

Hakuwindi wewe. Sumu yake ipo tu ili asiliwe na yeyote. Zaidi kuhusu kukaa salama

Ukweli

Batrachotoxins are among the most toxic compounds in nature by weight, about 250 times more toxic than strychnine.1

Some pitohui toxins were first found only in poison dart frogs of Central and South America.1

The birds' toxicity varies by location and by individual, and some birds have been collected with no detectable toxins.1

It lives in family groups and often joins and even leads mixed-species foraging flocks.1

The bird's song is a variable set of three to seven whistles, which can slur up or down.1

Kuvunja dhana potofu

Dhana potofu: The bird makes its own poison.

Ukweli: The bird does not make the toxin itself. It is thought to take the toxin from its diet, possibly from Choresine beetles that contain it.1
