Foxface rabbitfish
The foxface rabbitfish is a vivid yellow reef fish with a black stripe running through its eye. It lives in lagoons and reefs in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Its fin spines hold venom, so it is one to watch carefully on the reef.1

怎麼認出牠
- Its main colour is vivid yellow, with white on the head and the front part of the body.1
- A black band runs from the mouth, through the eye, to the start of the dorsal fin.1
- A black area on the breast runs upwards, tapering, to just above the base of the pectoral fin.1
- It has a compressed body, a steep head profile, a tubular snout and a weakly forked tail.1
- Adults are usually seen alone or in pairs, often near branching Acropora corals.1
常被誤認為: The blotched foxface (Siganus unimaculatus) can be confused with it. The blotched foxface has a large black spot below the soft-rayed part of the dorsal fin, which the foxface rabbitfish lacks.1
毒液力量
尖銳的棘刺帶著毒液。踩到或抓到牠都會很痛。
牠的毒液有什麼作用?
Its fin spines hold venom glands, so the venom is delivered through the spines. A study of a related rabbitfish found that its venom was similar to the venom of stonefishes.1
牠對人有多危險?
對人的危險: 疼痛可能會非常痛,但幾乎從來不會很嚴重。牠害怕時會做什麼?
When threatened, it can camouflage itself by quickly changing colour to a dark brown.1
如果牠的棘刺刺到你
- 把傷口泡在熱水裡,水溫要在傷者能忍受、又不會燙傷的範圍內(先用你自己的手試水溫),泡 30 到 90 分鐘。要就醫,特別是被石頭魚和魟魚刺傷時。
一定要先打緊急電話(112、000、911)。這是一般急救指引,不是醫療建議。 急救基本知識
注意安全
- 絕對不要碰、抓或捉弄野生動物,就算是很小的動物,就算牠看起來在睡覺或已經死了也一樣。
- 給牠空間。如果遇到了,保持冷靜,慢慢往後退,讓牠自己離開。
- 如果被牠的棘刺刺到:保持冷靜,保持不動,打緊急電話(112、000、911)或趕快去醫院。記住牠的樣子,有照片會很有幫助。
牠不是想來抓你。牠用毒液來捕捉食物或保護自己,而且牠更想躲起來。 更多安全知識
