Striped pyjama squid
Ushevu esikhumbeni sasoSidla: InyamaSinoshevu, asinabo ubuthi bokuluma noma bokuhlabaThe striped pyjama squid is a small squid that lives on the seafloor in the Indo-Pacific waters of Australia. It hides by burying itself in the sand, with only the top of its head and its yellow eye showing. Its saliva contains a toxin, which makes it a squid to leave alone.1

- It has two feeding tentacles and eight arms, with finger-like tendrils around the mantle opening.1
- Adults are about 7 to 8 cm long. It has no shell.1
Amandla oshevu
Isikhumba saso sinoshevu. Kuyingozi ukusithinta, ukusikhotha noma ukusidla.
Ushevu waso wenzani?
Its saliva contains tetrodotoxin, a neurotoxin, which is a poison that attacks the nerves. The squid also has glands under its body that release a toxic slime when it is attacked.1
Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?
Ingozi ebantwini: KuncaneNjengokuhlatshwa yinyosi noma ngaphansi. Cishe akunangozi ebantwini.Senzani uma sesabile?
When attacked, it can release toxic slime to scare off predators or give it time to escape, and it can release ink that can mimic its shape to distract a predator.1
Uma umuntu esithintile noma esidlile
- 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 usithintile noma usidlile: ungahlikihli amehlo noma umlomo wakho, geza izandla zakho futhi uthole usizo lwezokwelapha.
Asikuzingeli wena. Ushevu waso ukhona nje ukuze kungabikho okusidlayo. Okwengeziwe mayelana nokuhlala uphephile

Amaqiniso
The male uses a spoon-shaped arm to remove sperm from another male if he finds it in the female.1
It can change its colour to dark brown or purple when attacked or to blend in with its surroundings.1
Its white stripes reflect white light, while its dark stripes are tiny pigment sacs called chromatophores that it can flash.1
It buries itself in the sand during the day and keeps flicking sand over its body to stay hidden.1
Worm-like parasites called dicyemids live inside it and feed on its urine.1
Like many members of its order, the male usually dies after mating.1
