Hawksbill sea turtle

Eretmochelys imbricata

名字的由来： Its common name comes from its beak-like mouth, which is more sharply hooked than in other sea turtles. Its scientific name, Eretmochelys, comes from Ancient Greek words meaning 'oar' and 'turtle', for its oar-like front flippers.1

毒力

吃了有毒

只有被什么东西吃掉时才有害。

它对人有多危险？

对人的危险: 非常危险不治疗可能会害死人。

The main risk to people is from eating its flesh, which can become toxic after the turtle eats venomous cnidarians (jellyfish-like animals). The sources give no figures for illness or deaths.1

它害怕时会做什么？

It uses its strong shell to squeeze into tight spaces in reefs, and it may seek places where it can camouflage or hide from predators.1

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。
如果你碰了或吃了它：不要揉眼睛或嘴巴，洗手并就医。

它不是冲着你来的。它的毒只是为了不被吃掉。更多安全知识

值得了解

事实

It is biofluorescent and is the first reptile recorded with this trait, meaning it glows under certain light.1

Some sponges it eats are highly toxic to other animals, and it can eat them without harm.1

It closes its unprotected eyes when feeding on stinging animals, and the Portuguese man o' war's stinging cells cannot pierce its armoured head.1

Sponges make up most of its food, which makes it the only primarily sponge-eating reptile among sea turtles.1

Its shell was the main source of tortoiseshell used for decorative items.1

In the eastern Pacific, it nests and feeds mainly in mangrove estuaries rather than on reefs.1
