豹紋窄尾魟 (豹紋土魟)

Leopard Whipray

Himantura leoparda

簡介

巨大的菱形圓盤體表佈滿如美洲豹般的深色豹紋圈斑，細長如鞭的尾部往往是體盤長度的兩倍以上。

A massive diamond disc embellished with intricate leopard rosettes, trailing a whip-like tail twice its body length.

幼魚時期斑點密集成小碎斑，成魚後會逐漸舒展成華麗的豹紋大圈斑；尾柄基部具毒棘，常半埋於沙中伏擊獵物。

Juveniles start with dense small spots that transform into bold leopard rings with age; its tail barb can deliver a painful, venomous sting.

尚無潛點紀錄。
