Amandla obuthi

Ukuhlaba

Ubuthi buphuma ngodosi.

Ubuthi baso benzani?

Its sting is sheathed in toxic mucus. The sting is capable of piercing bone.1

Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?

Ingozi ebantwini: Kubi kakhuluUkuhlatshwa kudinga udokotela. Ukufa kuyivelakancane kakhulu.

The giant freshwater stingray is not aggressive. Its sting is strong enough to pierce bone and is coated in toxic mucus, so it should be treated with care.1

Uma sihlaba

  • 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 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
