鉛筆海膽 (紅頭筆海膽)

Slate Pencil Urchin

Heterocentrotus mamillatus

簡介

放棄了尖銳的防禦，改用粗大如紅色粉筆的鈍刺來卡在珊瑚礁縫隙中抵抗海浪。

Traded sharp defenses for blunt, red chalk-like spines, wedging themselves tightly into coral crevices to resist crashing waves.

牠們那些粗壯的紅刺，在古代甚至被部分太平洋島嶼的原住民拿來當作石筆在石板上寫字！

In ancient times, indigenous people of some Pacific islands actually used these thick red spines as natural chalk to write on slates!

尚無潛點紀錄。
