Doole tooke

Ŋatgol

Tooke ngal ina yaltira ñiiƴe mum so ina ŋata.

Hol ko tooke ŋatgol mum waɗata?

Not much is known about this species' venom. Its LD50 in mice, the dose that kills half of the test animals, is 0.24 mg/kg when injected into muscle.1

Hol no bone mum heewiri e yimɓe?

Bone e yimɓe: Bone sanneIna waawi warde neɗɗo mo safraaka.

It is described as extremely venomous. Usually those bitten are fishermen handling nets, and only about one quarter of those bitten are envenomated, meaning venom is injected, because the snake rarely injects much venom.1

Hol ko ngal waɗata so ina hula?

It has a timid temperament and would normally have to be severely mistreated before it bites.1

Humpito

Unlike most snakes, its scales overlap each other.1

Each dorsal scale has a central tubercle, which is a small raised bump.1

Its mouth is very small, which suits life in the water.1

Feññinoowo fenaande

Fenaande: Belcher's sea snake, often called the hook-nosed sea snake, is the most venomous snake in the world.

Goonga: This idea spread from a 1996 book, which lumped together toxicity results from different test methods. Venoms can only be compared within the same testing method. The most venomous sea snake is Dubois' seasnake (Aipysurus duboisii).1
