The radiant sea urchin is a large, colourful sea urchin with long, spiky spines. It lives in warm, shallow seas across the Indo-Pacific, from the African coast to Hawaii and Australia. Its spines are venomous, so it is one to admire from a distance.1

Botlhole jo e bo tsenyang bo dira eng?

Its spines are venomous and can cause painful wounds. The spines are long and hollow, and the shorter of the two kinds are the venomous ones.1

E kotsi go le kae go batho?

Kotsi go batho: E botlhokoE ka utlwisa botlhoko tota, mme go seoka thata gore e nne masisi.

It is not deadly to humans, but its spines can cause painful wounds. Because it is large and brightly coloured, divers can usually see it, so injuries from stepping on one are fairly rare. On the 'Kings of Pain' pain index it scores 12 out of 30.1

E dira eng fa e tshogile?

It is sensitive to light and can angle its spines towards an approaching threat.1
