Longhorn cowfish

Lactoria cornuta
Malunga negama: The genus name Lactoria means 'milkcow', after the large spines above the eyes that look like cow horns. The specific name cornutus means 'horned'.1
AsinangoziAsinangozi ebantwini. Akukho nto yokukhathazeka ngayo.

The longhorn cowfish is a small, boxy reef fish with two long horns above its eyes, like a cow's. It lives in warm waters across the Indo-Pacific, from the Red Sea to Japan and Australia. It is a slow swimmer that protects itself with a hard box-like body and a skin poison.1

Siyatyhefa okanye sinetyhefu? Izilwanyana ezinetyhefu zitofa ityhefu ngokuluma okanye ngokuhlaba. Izilwanyana ezityhefayo ziyingozi xa uzichukumisa okanye uzitya. Esi siyatyhefa.
Sihlala
Indo-Pacific: Red Sea and East Africa east through Indonesia to the Marquesas, north to southern Japan, south to Australia and Lord Howe Island1

Ekhaya
It mainly lives on coral reefs in lagoons, reef flats, estuaries, bays and protected seaward reefs, usually over sand or rubble bottoms. Adults are often solitary and territorial. It is found at depths of 1 to 45 m, and perhaps up to 100 m.1
Ubude
6,5 cm ukuya ku-50 cm (2,6 in ukuya ku-1,6 ft)1
Ubunzima
12 g ukuya ku-156 g (0,4 oz ukuya ku-6 oz)1
Esona santya siphezulu
malunga ne-4 km/h (2,5 mph)
Ukuqubha, uqikelelo nje
Sitya ntoni?
It eats benthic algae, microorganisms and foraminiferans, which it strains from sediment. It also eats sponges, polychaete worms, molluscs and small crustaceans and fish. It feeds on animals living in sand by blowing jets of water into the sandy bottom.1

Indlela yokusiqaphela

  • Two long horns stick out from the front of the head, above the large eyes1
  • Its body is a solid, triangular, box-like shell made of fused plate-like scales, with the fins and tail sticking out1
  • The base colour is yellow to olive, decorated with white or bluish spots1
  • It has no gill cover, only a small slit or hole behind the head1
  • It swims slowly with its fins, so it looks as if it is hovering1

Amandla etyhefu

Ityhefu esikhumbeni saso

Isikhumba saso siyatyhefa. Kuyingozi ukusichukumisa, ukusikhotha okanye ukusitya.

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

When it is severely stressed, it can release a toxin called pahutoxin from the mucus on its skin. This poison is toxic to other boxfish and has properties similar to sea cucumber toxins.1

Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?

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

Senza ntoni xa soyika?

Its hard box-like shell, its horns, which can be used to charge at predators, and its skin poison all protect it. If severely stressed, it may release its toxin.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

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

Iinyaniso

1

Its horns may have evolved to make it harder for predators to swallow it, and if damaged, they can grow back within a few months.1

2

It can make humming and clicking sounds using muscles connected to its swim bladder.1

3

It is slow and easy to catch by hand, and it makes a grunting noise when caught.1

4

On Pamban Island in India, a local belief says cows on the island turned into these fish when the land separated.1

5

It helps protect coral reefs by eating invertebrates that damage them, and it is also important to reef growth.1

Females spawn in small groups, with one male and 3 to 4 females in each harem. The oval eggs hatch into larvae that quickly form the box-like armour.1
