Built for open water, the sea snake slides between coral heads on a paddle-shaped tail. It grows 0.5–3 m, hunting fish and eels, surfacing briefly to breathe. Venom ranks among the most toxic in nature, yet bites are rare; entanglement in fishing gear is its biggest threat.

Habitat: The Sea Snake can be found in Cambodia, China, Fiji, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Myanmar, Papua-new-guinea, Philippines, Sri-lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam, Australia, New-zealand
