The yellow-lipped sea krait is a highly venomous sea snake. It lives in tropical waters of the Indo-Pacific, between the Indian Ocean and the Pacific. It spends much of its time underwater hunting, but it comes ashore to digest food, rest and breed.1

Kako ga prepoznati

Black head with a yellow upper lip and snout. The yellow extends back above the eye.1
Upper body is a bluish grey, with black rings of about the same width along its length. The belly is yellowish.1
Paddle-shaped tail, adapted for swimming.1
Between 21 and 25 rows of overlapping scales run along the middle of the body.1

Otrovna snaga

Ugrizi

Otrov izlazi kroz očnjake ili zube kad ugrize.

Što radi njegov otrov kad ugrize ili ubode?

Its venom is a very powerful neurotoxic venom, which attacks the nerves. It blocks signals between nerves and muscles, which causes paralysis. In mice, lethal doses caused lethargy, paralysis and convulsions in quick succession before death.1

Koliko je opasno za ljude?

Opasnost za ljude: Vrlo opasnoMože ubiti osobu koja ne dobije liječenje.

Fewer bites are recorded from this snake than from cobras and vipers, because it is less aggressive and tends to avoid people. Bites usually happen when it is accidentally grabbed. Most sea snake bites happen when fishermen try to untangle the snakes from their nets.1

Što radi kad se uplaši?

It is not aggressive and only attacks when it feels threatened, and its tail moves and looks like its head, which can fool predators.1

Ako ugrize

Imobilizacija pritiskom: čvrsto omotaj elastični zavoj preko ugriza, a zatim uz cijeli ud, stavi udlagu i drži osobu potpuno mirnom dok ne stigne pomoć.
Izvuci osobu iz vode i brzo je odvedi u bolnicu.

Ostani na sigurnom

Nikad ne diraj, ne hvataj i ne zadirkuj divlju životinju, čak ni malu, i čak ni ako izgleda kao da spava ili je mrtva.
Ostavi joj prostora. Ako je sretneš, ne paniči, polako se odmakni i pusti je da ode svojim putem.
Ako te neka ugrize: ne paniči, miruj, nazovi broj za hitne slučajeve (112, 000, 911) ili brzo idi u bolnicu. Zapamti kako je izgledala, fotografija pomaže.

Ne želi ti ništa loše. Otrov koristi za lov hrane ili za obranu i mnogo bi se radije sakrilo. Više o sigurnosti
