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
Kuphi emhlabeni?
Sikhulu kangakanani?
Side kangakanani?

Yizibalo nje kusiphequluli sakho. Akukho okulondolozwayo noma okuthunyelwa ndawo.
Sishesha kangakanani?
