Ityhefu yaso etyhefayo (xa usichukumisa okanye usitya) yenza ntoni?

This animal is poisonous rather than venomous, so it does not bite or sting to inject poison. It smears poison from the bark of the poison arrow tree onto the hairs of its glandular skin patch. A predator that bites it can be sickened or even killed by this poison.1

Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?

Its poison is a risk to predators that try to bite it. The rat itself is not harmed by the toxins it stores.1

Senza ntoni xa soyika?

When threatened or excited, the mane stands up and the glandular strip parts, exposing the skin that carries the poison.1

Ukuba umntu usichukumisile okanye usityile

Ukuba umntu usityile okanye uneempawu emva kokusitya: tsalela inombolo kaxakeka okanye iziko lezityhefu (poison centre) ngoko nangoko.

Soloko utsalela inombolo kaxakeka kuqala (112, 000, 911). Esi sisikhokelo soncedo lokuqala ngokubanzi, asilocebiso lwezonyango. Iziseko zoncedo lokuqala

Hlala ukhuselekile

Ungaze uchukumise, ubambe okanye uqhule isilwanyana sasendle, nokuba sincinci, kwaye nokuba sibonakala silele okanye sifile.
Sinike indawo. Ukuba udibana naso, hlala uzolile, buyela umva kancinci kwaye usiyeke sihambe ngendlela yaso.
Ukuba usichukumisile okanye usityile: musa ukukhuhla amehlo okanye umlomo wakho, hlamba izandla zakho kwaye ufumane uncedo lwezonyango.

Asikuzingeli. Ityhefu yaso ikhona nje ukuze kungabikho nto isityayo. Okungakumbi malunga nokuhlala ukhuselekile

Iinyaniso

It is the world's only known poisonous rodent.1

It is the only rodent known to use and store toxins from a different species in nature to protect itself, and it suffers no known harm from them.1

Its stomach has five anatomically distinct sections, a feature found in very few rodents.1

The skull is covered with small bony projections that give it a pebbled look.1

Its large size may allow microbes in its foregut to break down cellulose from plants by fermentation.1

Umqhekezi weentsomi

Intsomi: The maned rat was believed to be solitary.

Inyaniso: It is now known to be somewhat sociable. Several animals are found in the same territory, and they purr and groom one another, so they may form family groups of a male, a female and their young.1
