Aquatic coral snake
The aquatic coral snake is a venomous snake that spends much of its time in water. It is one of the heaviest and sturdiest coral snakes, and it lives in the forests of northern South America. It is special because it swims well and can stay underwater for a long time.1

Its venom is neurotoxic, meaning it attacks the nerves. It blocks signals between nerves and muscles, which causes paralysis. Symptoms can include blurred vision, difficulty speaking, swallowing and walking, and breathing failure. In a well-reported case in the Amazon, the victim reached hospital about 20 minutes after the bite.1

The estimated lethal dose for an adult human is 18–20 mg, which is higher than the 4–7 mg for smaller coral snake species. Because it is a large snake, it can carry a lot of venom, with an average yield of 56 mg and a maximum of 160 mg when milked by scientists.1
