The geography cone is a predatory sea snail that lives on shallow tropical reefs in the Indo-Pacific. It hunts small fish. Its venom is strong enough to kill a person, which makes it one of the most dangerous cone snails.1

Sihlala

Red Sea, Indian Ocean (including off Madagascar, Mozambique and Tanzania), Indo-Pacific reefs, and off northern and western Australia and Queensland1

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

Ekhaya

It lives in the sediment of shallow reefs in tropical seas.1

Ubude

4,3 cm ukuya ku-17 cm (1,7 in ukuya ku-6,5 in)1

Esona santya siphezulu

malunga ne-0,01 km/h (0,01 mph)

Ukuqubha, uqikelelo nje

Sitya ntoni?

It eats small fish. It fires a harpoon-like, venom-tipped tooth into its prey. The harpoon is attached to the snail by a proboscis (a tube-like feeding organ), and the prey is pulled inside to be eaten.1

Indlela yokusiqaphela

Broad, thin shell that is cylindrically inflated, usually 10 to 15 cm long1
Ground colour is pink or violet-white, sometimes reddish1
Mottled pattern of chestnut or chocolate brown, usually forming two irregular bands1
Wide pink or violet-white opening and numerous shoulder ridges or spines1

Sidla ngokubhidaniswa no: Compared with other cone shells of a similar size, the geography cone has a noticeably wider, more convex middle and a flattened spire. Its walls are also thinner and lighter.1

Amandla etyhefu yokuluma nokuhlaba

Ukuhlaba

Ityhefu iphuma ngenaliti yokuhlaba.

Ityhefu yaso yokuluma okanye yokuhlaba yenza ntoni?

Its venom is a complex mix of hundreds of different toxins, delivered through the harpoon-like tooth. It has the most toxic sting known among cone snails. Even the most venomous cone snails take about one to five hours to kill a healthy adult, but medical care must still be prompt.1

Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?

Ingozi ebantwini: SiyabulalaEsinye sezona zilwanyana ziyingozi emhlabeni.

There are reports of about 36 human deaths over the past 300 years. Live specimens should be handled with extreme caution.1

Senza ntoni xa soyika?

Most of the venom's toxic compounds are believed to be used for defence rather than feeding.1

Ukuba siyahlaba

There is no antivenom for a cone snail sting. Treatment consists of keeping the victim alive until the symptoms wear off, so prompt medical care is essential.1
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 siyakuhlaba: 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

Its venom contains a form of insulin, which it uses to stun fish. Once the venom passes through a fish's gills, the fish goes into hypoglycaemic shock (a dangerous drop in blood sugar).1

Apart from the tulip cone snail, no other known living thing is known to use its own biological insulin as a weapon.1

Research shows that some proteins from cone snail venom can be up to 10,000 times more effective than morphine as painkillers, without morphine's addictive properties and side effects.1

Of the venom's 100 to 200 toxic peptides, only 15 to 20 are used for feeding.1

Adult geography cones can fall prey to sea turtles, rays, birds and human shell collectors.1

Umqhekezi weentsomi

Intsomi: The nickname 'cigarette snail' means a sting gives you just enough time to smoke a cigarette before you die.

Inyaniso: This is a gallows humour exaggeration. Even the most venomous cone snails take about one to five hours to kill a healthy human.1
