Striped pyjama squid
The striped pyjama squid is a small squid that lives on the seafloor in the Indo-Pacific waters of Australia. It hides by burying itself in the sand, with only the top of its head and its yellow eye showing. Its saliva contains a toxin, which makes it a squid to leave alone.1

怎样认出它
- White and brown stripes run across its whole body.1
- It can change to dark brown or purple, to match its surroundings or when attacked.1
- It has a yellow eye, and only the top of its head shows above the sand.1
- It has two feeding tentacles and eight arms, with finger-like tendrils around the mantle opening.1
- Adults are about 7 to 8 cm long. It has no shell.1
毒力
它的皮肤有毒。摸、舔或吃都很危险。
它的毒会造成什么?
Its saliva contains tetrodotoxin, a neurotoxin, which is a poison that attacks the nerves. The squid also has glands under its body that release a toxic slime when it is attacked.1
它对人有多危险?
对人的危险: 轻微像被蜜蜂蜇一下或更轻。对人基本无害。它害怕时会做什么?
When attacked, it can release toxic slime to scare off predators or give it time to escape, and it can release ink that can mimic its shape to distract a predator.1
如果有人碰了或吃了它
- 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。

- 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。

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

事实
The male uses a spoon-shaped arm to remove sperm from another male if he finds it in the female.1
It can change its colour to dark brown or purple when attacked or to blend in with its surroundings.1
Its white stripes reflect white light, while its dark stripes are tiny pigment sacs called chromatophores that it can flash.1
It buries itself in the sand during the day and keeps flicking sand over its body to stay hidden.1
Worm-like parasites called dicyemids live inside it and feed on its urine.1
Like many members of its order, the male usually dies after mating.1
