Sidlani?
It drift-feeds, hanging its stinging tentacles in the water like a large net to catch prey as it floats past. It eats zooplankton, crustaceans, salps, pelagic snails, small fish, fish eggs and larvae, and other jellyfish.1

Indlela yokusibona

  • 24 undulating maroon tentacles that can trail up to 4.6 m behind it1

Amandla obuthi

Ama-tentacle ahlabayo

Izinkulungwane zamaseli amancane ahlabayo ziyadubula uma kukhona okuzithintayo.

Ubuthi baso benzani?

When prey touches the tentacles, thousands of stinging cells (nematocysts) fire barbed stingers that inject venom. The venom contains proteins, including proteases and pore-forming toxins, which can disrupt cell membranes and tissues. The venom is effective against prey and humans, but is typically not lethal to people.1

Ingozi ebantwini: KubuhlunguKungaba buhlungu ngempela, kodwa cishe akukaze kube kubi kakhulu.

Its sting is often irritating and possibly mildly painful to people, but it is rarely dangerous. It is typically nonlethal to humans.1

Senzani uma sesabile?

Its stinging tentacles are its main defence, although some animals, such as leatherback turtles, are not bothered by the sting.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

Small fish and crabs sometimes hide inside its bell, where they may feed on it.1

2

It uses light-sensing organs called ocelli to migrate from deep water up to the surface.1

3

It swims by jet propulsion, squeezing its bell to push water out, though it mostly floats.1

4

Its population may be growing because of nutrient pollution from human sources, which feeds algal blooms and the wider food chain.1

5

It is kept in many aquariums because of its bright colours and very long tentacles, and it is low-maintenance in captivity.1

Females hold fertilised eggs on their oral arms, where they grow into free-swimming larvae. The larvae settle, become polyps, and bud new polyps before developing into jellyfish. No number is given.1
