Its venom is rich in enzymes that break down prey inside the body, which simplifies digestion. The venom also affects both the muscles and nerves of the prey, and it is used to incapacitate the prey.1

Fatgs

Its tail has light-sensitive cells in the skin, which help it detect light and stay fully hidden inside coral holes during the day.1

Males sometimes approach divers, possibly because they mistake the divers for female sea snakes.1

Prawn trawls are one of its greatest threats, and up to 50% of olive sea snakes caught in trawls are killed.1

Males can reach sexual maturity in their third year, while females do not mature until their fourth or fifth year.1

Destructur da mits

Mit: Sea snakes regularly attack divers.

Vardad: Attacks on divers are rare. Males that approach divers are likely mistaking them for females.1
