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

Inoruma

Uturu hwayo hunoitei?

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

Ine ngozi yakadii kuvanhu?

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

Inoitei kana yatya?

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
