Ekhaya
It lives from the intertidal zone down to 2,000 m, in cold, oxygen-rich waters. It spends most of its time in dens, which can be caves, holes under rock, or rubbish on the seafloor such as bottles, tyres, pipes and barrels. Dens are often found in kelp and rocky areas.1

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.

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

The female lays between 120,000 and 400,000 eggs on a hard surface and guards them for about 6 months, until they hatch. She dies soon after the young hatch. Hatchlings are about the size of a grain of rice, and very few survive to adulthood.1
