Amandla obuthi

Ukuluma

Ubuthi buphuma ngamazinyo aso obuthi noma ngamazinyo uma siluma.

Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?

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

Senzani uma sesabile?

It hides by camouflage, sitting still while a predator passes. If found, it jets away using its siphon and often releases ink.1

Uma siluma

  • Ukubopha ngokucindezela nokuvimba ukunyakaza (pressure immobilisation): bopha ibhandeshi elinwebekayo eliqinile phezu kwenxeba bese ukhuphuka nesitho sonke, usiqinise nge-splint, futhi ugcine umuntu engashukumi nhlobo kuze kufike usizo.
  • Ingwane enezindandatho eziluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka noma umnenke we-cone ungamenza umuntu ayeke ukuphefumula esaphapheme: biza usizo futhi ulungele ukumphefumulela (rescue breaths) kuze kufike i-ambulensi ithathe izintambo.

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 sikuluma: 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

Cuttlefish can change colour and skin texture within seconds, and this camouflage ability is present before they hatch, as young can change their pattern from inside the egg.1

2

Young cuttlefish learn prey preferences before hatching. Embryos that see crabs later hunt crabs more often than shrimp.1

3

The colour sepia, a deep brown, is named after this cuttlefish and is extracted from its ink sac.1

4

Cuttlebones are sold as a source of calcium for pet parrots, and they help keep the bird's beak trimmed.1

5

Cuttlefish ink is used as a food ingredient that stains dishes deep black.1

6

Large numbers of cuttlefish die after spawning, and they usually live only up to 2 years.1
