Indlela yokusibona

  • Many brown to brownish red bars run along the body, and the bars near the base of the tail are thin and wavy.1
  • A brownish red spot, smaller than the pupil of the eye, sits on the lower gill cover.1
  • The soft-rayed parts of the dorsal, anal and tail fins are see-through, with small brownish red spots scattered on the rays.1
  • The pelvic fin is blackish.1
  • The dorsal fin has 13 spines and 10 soft rays. It has no tentacles above the eyes, or only very small ones.1

Ivamise ukudidaniswa ne: A closely related species, Pterois paucispinula, lives in the Western Pacific Ocean. The African lionfish is limited to the Indian Ocean, so the location of a sighting helps tell the two apart.1

Amandla obuthi

Ameva anobuthi

Ameva abukhali aphethe ubuthi. Ukusinyathela noma ukusibamba kubuhlungu.

Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?

Ingozi ebantwini: Kubi kakhuluUma ameva aso ekugwaza, yana kudokotela. Ukufa kuyivelakancane kakhulu.

Its spines can harm people who come into contact with it.1

Uma ameva aso ekugwaza

  • Faka inxeba emanzini ashisayo, ashisa ngendlela umuntu angakwazi ukuyibekezelela ngaphandle kokusha (yihlole ngesandla sakho), imizuzu engama-30 kuya kwengama-90. Thola usizo lwezokwelapha, ikakhulukazi kuma-stonefish nama-stingray.

Njalo shayela kuqala inombolo yezimo eziphuthumayo (112, 000, 911). Lokhu kuyiseluleko sosizo lokuqala esijwayelekile, akusona iseluleko sezokwelapha. Izisekelo zosizo lokuqala

Hlala uphephile

  • Ungalokothi uthinte, ubambe noma ugcone isilwane sasendle, ngisho noma sincane, futhi ngisho noma sibukeka silele noma sifile.
  • Sinike isikhala. Uma uhlangana naso, hlala uzolile, uhlehle kancane bese usiyeka sihambe ngendlela yaso.
  • Uma ameva aso ekugwaza: hlala uzolile, ungashukumi, shayela inombolo yezimo eziphuthumayo (112, 000, 911) noma uye esibhedlela ngokushesha. Khumbula ukuthi besibukeka kanjani, isithombe siyasiza.

Asikuzingeli wena. Sisebenzisa ubuthi baso ukuze sibambe ukudla noma ukuzivikela, futhi singancamela ukucasha. Okwengeziwe mayelana nokuhlala uphephile

Amaqiniso

1

In 2014, scientists described a similar species from the Western Pacific Ocean. They found that the African lionfish was restricted to the Indian Ocean, and that the new species had been overlooked before.1

When Smith described it, he thought it looked most like a fish from Hawaii, Pterois sphex.1
