它吃什么？

It is an ambush predator that lies buried with only its eyes exposed. It moves a small strip of skin on its lower jaw to lure prey, then lunges and swallows the prey in less than 30 milliseconds. It mainly eats fish larvae, small fish such as gobies and picarels, and small crustaceans.1

毒液之力

有毒的刺

锋利的刺带着毒液。踩到或抓住它会很疼。

它对人有多危险？

对人的危险: 很疼可能真的很疼，但几乎从不严重。

它害怕时会做什么？

When disturbed, it produces pulse-type electric organ discharges.1

如果它的刺扎到你

把伤口泡在热水里，水温以不烫伤为限、尽量热（先用你自己的手试一试），泡 30 到 90 分钟。去看医生，尤其是被石头鱼和魟鱼伤到时。

一定先拨打你的急救电话（112、000、911）。这里是一般急救指导，不是医疗建议。急救基础

注意安全

永远不要摸、抓或逗弄野生动物，即使是很小的，即使它看起来在睡觉或已经死了。
给它留出空间。如果遇到它，保持冷静，慢慢后退，让它走自己的路。
如果它的刺扎到你：保持冷静，保持不动，拨打你的急救电话（112、000、911）或尽快去医院。记住它长什么样，拍张照片会有帮助。

它不是冲着你来的。它用毒液捕猎或保护自己，而且它更愿意躲起来。更多安全知识

值得了解

事实

It is one of few fish capable of bioelectrogenesis, which means it can produce electricity.1

Its lure is a small strip of skin on its lower jaw, which it moves in and out rapidly to attract prey.1

It uses its electric organ to produce discharges when feeding and when disturbed.1

All species in its genus, Uranoscopus, have an electric organ that evolved from sonic muscles, but they lack the receptor organ needed to sense electric fields.1

It lacks a swimbladder, the gas-filled organ many fish use to control buoyancy.1
