The yellow stingray is a small ray that lives on the sandy, muddy or seagrass bottoms of shallow coastal waters in the western Atlantic, the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean. It spends much of the day buried under sand or lying still. It can sting with a venomous spine on its tail, but it usually ignores divers unless it is stepped on or provoked.1

Sihlala

Western Atlantic: Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea, from North Carolina to Trinidad, including Florida and the Bahamas1

Ekhaya

It lives in bays, lagoons, estuaries and low-energy surf zones, from the water's edge down to 25 m deep. It likes hard, rocky bottoms covered in small sea creatures, and also sand, mud and seagrass, sometimes near coral reefs. People are most likely to meet it in shallow water while diving or wading.1

Ukuqubha, uqikelelo nje

Sitya ntoni?

It eats small invertebrates such as shrimps, and probably worms, clams and small bony fishes. It often settles on prey and traps it against the bottom, then moves it to its mouth with its disc. It may also wave the edges of its disc to dig pits and uncover buried prey.1

Indlela yokusiqaphela

Nearly round pectoral fin disc with a short tail and a small, leaf-shaped tail fin.1
Pattern of spots and blotches, either light on dark or dark on light, which varies a lot between individuals.1
Can quickly change the tone and contrast of its colour to match its surroundings.1
Underside is yellowish, greenish or brownish white, with small darker spots near the edge of the disc and the tail.1
A serrated spine sits about halfway along the tail.1

Amandla etyhefu yokuluma nokuhlaba

Ukuhlaba

Ityhefu iphuma ngenaliti yokuhlaba.

Ityhefu yaso yokuluma okanye yokuhlaba yenza ntoni?

The tail spine is coated in potent venom. The wound it causes is extremely painful, but it is seldom life-threatening.1

Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?

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

It is not aggressive towards people. It injures people only when it is stepped on or otherwise provoked, and the resulting wound is very painful but seldom life-threatening.1

Senza ntoni xa soyika?

When threatened it mostly stays still, buried under sediment or lying in vegetation, and if stepped on or provoked it defends itself with its tail spine.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

It glows green when lit by blue or ultraviolet light, a effect called biofluorescence that may help it communicate and camouflage itself.1

It can raise the front of its disc to form a shaded 'cave' that draws in small creatures looking for shelter.1

Off Jamaica, up to one yellow stingray per square metre gathers under mangrove roosts used by cattle egrets, possibly because bird droppings feed the small animals that attract the rays.1

Its eyes give it a 360° view of its surroundings, and each eye has a covering that controls how much light enters.1

It can live for 15 to 25 years.1

Umqhekezi weentsomi

Intsomi: Stingrays attack people in the water.

Inyaniso: Yellow stingrays generally pay little attention to divers and can be approached closely. They only sting when they are stepped on or otherwise provoked.1
