Nguvu ya sumu
Miiba mikali hubeba sumu. Kumkanyaga au kumshika kunauma.
Ana hatari gani kwa watu?
Hatari kwa watu: HafifuKama kudungwa na nyuki au chini ya hapo. Kimsingi hana madhara kwa watu.The shark poses no danger to humans. In October 2011, a man was bitten at Elwood Beach near Melbourne, but the bite did not pierce the skin and he was able to swim away while the shark was still attached to his calf.1
Miiba yake ikikuchoma
- Weka jeraha kwenye maji ya moto, moto kiasi ambacho mtu anaweza kuvumilia bila kuungua (pima kwanza kwa mkono wako), kwa dakika 30 hadi 90. Tafuta msaada wa kitabibu, hasa kwa samaki-jiwe na taa.
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.
- Miiba yake ikikuchoma: tulia, usitikisike, piga namba yako ya dharura (112, 000, 911) au nenda hospitali haraka. Kumbuka alivyoonekana, picha husaidia.
Hakuwindi wewe. Hutumia sumu yake kukamata chakula au kujilinda, na hupendelea zaidi kujificha. Zaidi kuhusu kukaa salama

Ana kasi gani?
Ukweli
It can turn its stomach inside out and spit out unwanted contents.1
It can breathe while lying still on the bottom. It pumps water in through its first gill slit and out through the others, so it does not need to swim with its mouth open.1
Juveniles have individual personalities. Some are bolder than others when exploring new places, and they respond differently to stress.1
Juveniles can learn to link bubbles, lights or sounds with food, and they can learn by watching other sharks.1
Adults are often seen resting together in caves, but juveniles do not seem to be social.1
Each year it migrates south in summer and returns north to breed in winter.1
