Glory of the sea cone
蜇伤The Glory of the Sea Cone is a sea snail with a striking shell, part of the cone snail family. It lives in the warm waters of the Pacific and Indian Oceans. It is special because collectors once thought it was the rarest shell in the world.1

怎样认出它
- A relatively large, slender shell with a tall spire1
- Typical shell length is 8 to 12 cm, and it can reach 16 cm1
- A fine net-like pattern of orange-brown lines that enclose triangular spaces1
- Two or three bands of chestnut, hieroglyphic-like markings across the body1
- Tan colouring that can range from light golden to deep dark brown1
常被误认为: It is sometimes confused with the common Textile cone, and it has a similarity to the Bengal cone.1

它对人有多危险?
对人的危险: 严重被蜇了要去看医生。死亡非常罕见。
如果它蜇人
- 加压固定法:用有弹性的绷带紧紧缠住咬伤处,再缠满整条肢体,用夹板固定,让人完全不动,直到救援到来。
- 蓝环章鱼或芋螺可能让人在清醒时停止呼吸:立刻呼救,并准备好做人工呼吸,直到救护车接手。

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。
- 如果被它蜇了: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

事实
For about two centuries, this shell was regarded as the rarest shell in the world.1
Specimens were once valued in the thousands of U.S. dollars and were generally owned only by museums and wealthy private collectors.1
Today, shells can often be found from retailers or online auction sites for less than $100 U.S.1
Its habitat was not discovered until 1969.1
Improvements in diving technology, such as scuba, led to the discovery of far more shells.1
谣言粉碎机
谣言: A collector bought one at auction in 1792 and destroyed it to keep the value of another one he owned.
真相: This is an urban legend, a popular story that has spread among collectors. It is not an established fact.1
