The longhorn cowfish is a small, boxy reef fish with two long horns above its eyes, like a cow's. It lives in warm waters across the Indo-Pacific, from the Red Sea to Japan and Australia. It is a slow swimmer that protects itself with a hard box-like body and a skin poison.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.

Nyumbani
It mainly lives on coral reefs in lagoons, reef flats, estuaries, bays and protected seaward reefs, usually over sand or rubble bottoms. Adults are often solitary and territorial. It is found at depths of 1 to 45 m, and perhaps up to 100 m.1

Hula nini?
It eats benthic algae, microorganisms and foraminiferans, which it strains from sediment. It also eats sponges, polychaete worms, molluscs and small crustaceans and fish. It feeds on animals living in sand by blowing jets of water into the sandy bottom.1

Jinsi ya kumtambua

  • Two long horns stick out from the front of the head, above the large eyes1
  • Its body is a solid, triangular, box-like shell made of fused plate-like scales, with the fins and tail sticking out1
  • The base colour is yellow to olive, decorated with white or bluish spots1
  • It has no gill cover, only a small slit or hole behind the head1
  • It swims slowly with its fins, so it looks as if it is hovering1

Nguvu ya sumu

Sumu ndani ya ngozi

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

Sumu yake hufanya nini?

When it is severely stressed, it can release a toxin called pahutoxin from the mucus on its skin. This poison is toxic to other boxfish and has properties similar to sea cucumber toxins.1

Ana hatari gani kwa watu?

Hatari kwa watu: HafifuKama kudungwa na nyuki au chini ya hapo. Kimsingi hana madhara kwa watu.

Hufanya nini akiogopa?

Its hard box-like shell, its horns, which can be used to charge at predators, and its skin poison all protect it. If severely stressed, it may release its toxin.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

1

Its horns may have evolved to make it harder for predators to swallow it, and if damaged, they can grow back within a few months.1

2

It can make humming and clicking sounds using muscles connected to its swim bladder.1

3

It is slow and easy to catch by hand, and it makes a grunting noise when caught.1

4

On Pamban Island in India, a local belief says cows on the island turned into these fish when the land separated.1

5

It helps protect coral reefs by eating invertebrates that damage them, and it is also important to reef growth.1

Females spawn in small groups, with one male and 3 to 4 females in each harem. The oval eggs hatch into larvae that quickly form the box-like armour.1
