Indlela yokusibona

  • A round, almost flat, hard golden brown float about one inch (2.5 cm) wide1
  • Bright blue turquoise to yellow polyps hanging from the float1
  • Blue strands with knobs of stinging cells at the tips1
  • Looks similar to a jellyfish, but each 'individual' is a colony of polyps1

Ivamise ukudidaniswa ne: It looks superficially like a jellyfish. It is related to Velella and to the Portuguese man o' war, which are also colonial animals that float on the surface.1

Amandla obuthi

Ama-tentacle ahlabayo

Izinkulungwane zamaseli amancane ahlabayo ziyadubula uma kukhona okuzithintayo.

Ubuthi baso benzani?

It has stinging cells called nematocysts at the tips of its tentacle-like strands. The sting is not powerful and may cause slight irritation to human skin.1

Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?

Ingozi ebantwini: KuncaneNjengokuhlatshwa yinyosi noma ngaphansi. Cishe akunangozi ebantwini.

The sting is not powerful and may cause slight irritation. In recent years, the first recorded case of contact dermatitis (a skin rash caused by contact) from this species was reported in Japan.1

Uma sihlaba

  • Phuma emanzini bese ukhipha noma yimiphi imicu ehlabayo (ama-tentacle) (ngamagilavu noma ngendwangu).
  • Kuma-box jellyfish asezindaweni ezishisayo: thela uviniga ezindaweni ezihlatshiwe okungenani imizuzwana engama-30, biza usizo futhi ulungele ukwenza i-CPR. Kuma-bluebottle nakwamanye amaningi: hlanza ngamanzi olwandle, bese usebenzisa amanzi ashisayo ngenxa yobuhlungu.

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 sikuhlaba: 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

Each apparent individual is actually a colony of hydrozoan polyps, not a single animal.1
