The flamboyant cuttlefish is a small sea creature that can change its colours and patterns in a flash. It lives in shallow tropical waters around northern Australia, New Guinea, the Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia. It is special because its flesh is poisonous to eat, and it walks along the sea floor instead of swimming.1

Siyatyhefa okanye sinetyhefu? Izilwanyana ezinetyhefu zitofa ityhefu ngokuluma okanye ngokuhlaba. Izilwanyana ezityhefayo ziyingozi xa uzichukumisa okanye uzitya. Esi siyatyhefa.

Sihlala

Tropical Indo-Pacific: northern and eastern Australia, southern New Guinea, Indonesia, the Philippines and Malaysia1

uLwandlekazi lwaseIndiya, uLwandlekazi lwePasifiki, uLwandle lweCoral, uLwandle lwePhilippines, uLwandle lweTimor ne-Arafura

Ekhaya

It lives on sand and mud in shallow water, from 3 to 86 m deep. It is active during the day, when it hunts fish and crustaceans. Its striking display colours make it a popular species for private and public aquariums.1

Ubude

6 cm ukuya ku-8 cm (2,4 in ukuya ku-3,1 in)1

Esona santya siphezulu

malunga ne-15 km/h (9,3 mph)

Ukuqubha, uqikelelo nje

Sitya ntoni?

It hunts fish and crustaceans during the day. It stalks its prey using complex and varied camouflage.1

Indlela yokusiqaphela

Has a very broad, oval body (mantle) and small, flat, fin-like flaps on the back1
Broad, blade-like arms with four rows of suckers1
Normal base colour is dark brown1
When disturbed, it quickly turns black, dark brown and white, with yellow patches around the body, arms and eyes1
Arm tips often flash bright red as a warning1

Amandla etyhefu

Siyatyhefa xa sityiwa

Siyingozi kuphela ukuba kukho into esityayo.

Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?

Ingozi ebantwini: KubuhlunguKunokuba buhlungu ngokwenene, kodwa phantse akusoze kube kubi kakhulu.

Its muscle tissue is highly toxic, so eating it can be dangerous.1

Senza ntoni xa soyika?

When disturbed or attacked, it changes colour to a dark, high-contrast pattern and shows bright red arm tips to warn off predators. It also walks along the sea floor while waving the wide membranes on its arms.1

Ukuba umntu usichukumisile okanye usityile

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 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

Zizibalo nje kwibhrawuza yakho. Akukho nto igcinwayo okanye ithunyelwa naphi na.

kufanelekile ukwazi

Iinyaniso

A toxicology report found its muscle tissue highly toxic, making it only the third cephalopod known to be poisonous.1

It is one of the only cuttlefish known to walk on the sea floor. This is because its cuttlebone lacks an outer cone, the part most other cuttlefish use to float.1

A female once laid about a dozen eggs inside an overturned half coconut husk, which kept them safe from fish.1

Its toxin has been compared with that of the blue-ringed octopus, but the strength of that link is disputed.1

Umqhekezi weentsomi

Intsomi: Its bright arm display means it is a dangerous, deadly poisonous animal.

Inyaniso: The display is thought to warn predators that its flesh is poisonous. However, significant amounts of toxin have not yet been isolated from this species, and preliminary tests found only trace amounts of tetrodotoxin.1
