The southern stingray is a flat, diamond-shaped fish that lives on the sea bed in warm waters of the western Atlantic Ocean. It hides under sand and mud and is famous for the venomous spine on its tail. Divers and snorkellers often meet it in the Caribbean.1

Ekhaya

It lives on the sea bed, often in shallow water, and can be found singly or in pairs. In parts of the Caribbean, such as Grand Cayman, Antigua and Turks and Caicos, people meet it at places like Stingray City, the Sandbar and Gibbs Cay, where it swims with divers and snorkellers.1

Amandla etyhefu yokuluma nokuhlaba

Ukuhlaba

Ityhefu iphuma ngenaliti yokuhlaba.

Ityhefu yaso yokuluma okanye yokuhlaba yenza ntoni?

The barb on the tail is covered in venomous mucus. The spines are not fatal to humans, but stepping on one causes intense pain.1

Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?

The spines are not fatal to humans, but they are incredibly painful if stepped on. They are used to defend the stingray against predators, including humans.1

Senza ntoni xa soyika?

It buries itself in the sea bed to avoid predators and uses its venomous tail spines to drive them off.1

Ukuba siyahlaba

Faka inxeba emanzini ashushu, ashushu kangangoko umntu angakwazi ukunyamezela ngaphandle kokutshiswa (wavavanye ngesandla sakho), imizuzu engama-30 ukuya kwengama-90. Fumana uncedo lwezonyango, ingakumbi kwii-stonefish nakwii-stingray.

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

In shallow waters, birds follow the stingrays as they dig, eating the fish that the stingrays uncover.1

Its eyes and breathing openings sit on top of its head, so it can take in water while lying on the sea bed or buried in sand.1

It senses hidden prey through Ampullae of Lorenzini, which pick up the electric fields that prey give off.1

It is nocturnal, so most of its hunting happens at night.1

Female southern stingrays grow much larger than males.1
