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

It can withstand sandstorms strong enough to strip paint off steel, and it does not dig burrows to shelter from them.1

Researchers have considered copying this surface texture for use on aeroplanes and helicopters.1

Its armour has dome-shaped granules about 10 micrometres high, and scientists think this texture helps protect it from sand.1

The lethal dose (LD50) of its venom is 0.32 mg per kg when injected under the skin.1

Its venom contains a toxin called AaTX1, which was first found in this species.1

Umqothuli wezinganekwane
