Ekhaya
It lives on sand and mud seabeds and can tolerate brackish water, where fresh and salt water mix. It moves inshore in spring and summer to spawn, then moves to depths of 100 to 200 metres in autumn and winter.1

Indlela yokusiqaphela

  • Two highly developed eyes and eight arms around the mouth, plus two longer feeding tentacles1
  • An internal shell, the cuttlebone, on the back of the body1
  • Males in breeding season show a bold black and white zebra pattern on the mantle1
  • Females in breeding season show a uniform grey colour1

Amandla etyhefu yokuluma nokuhlaba

Ukuluma

Ityhefu iphuma ngamazinyo aso etyhefu okanye ngamazinyo aso xa siluma.

Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?

Ingozi ebantwini: KuthambileNjengokuhlatywa yinyosi okanye ngaphantsi. Phantse asinangozi ebantwini.

Senza ntoni xa soyika?

It hides by camouflage, sitting still while a predator passes. If found, it jets away using its siphon and often releases ink.1

Ukuba siyaluma

  • Ukubopha ngoxinzelelo nokunqanda ukushukuma (pressure immobilisation): songa ibhandeji eqinileyo enwebekayo phezu kwendawo elunyiweyo uze unyuke ngelungu lonke, uliqinise ngesiplinti, kwaye ugcine umntu engashukumi kwaphela de kufike uncedo.
  • Ingwane enamakhonkco aluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka okanye inkumba ye-cone inokwenza umntu ayeke ukuphefumla esaphaphile: biza uncedo kwaye ulungele ukumphefumlela (rescue breaths) de i-ambulensi ithathe izintambo.

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 siyakuluma: hlala uzolile, musa ukushukuma, tsalela inombolo kaxakeka (112, 000, 911) okanye uye esibhedlele ngokukhawuleza. Khumbula ukuba sasikhangeleka njani, ifoto iyanceda.

Asikuzingeli. Sisebenzisa ityhefu yaso ukubamba ukutya okanye ukuzikhusela, kwaye singakhetha ukuzimela. Okungakumbi malunga nokuhlala ukhuselekile

Iinyaniso

1

Cuttlefish can change colour and skin texture within seconds, and this camouflage ability is present before they hatch, as young can change their pattern from inside the egg.1

2

Young cuttlefish learn prey preferences before hatching. Embryos that see crabs later hunt crabs more often than shrimp.1

3

The colour sepia, a deep brown, is named after this cuttlefish and is extracted from its ink sac.1

4

Cuttlebones are sold as a source of calcium for pet parrots, and they help keep the bird's beak trimmed.1

5

Cuttlefish ink is used as a food ingredient that stains dishes deep black.1

6

Large numbers of cuttlefish die after spawning, and they usually live only up to 2 years.1
