Dintlha

1

Scientists think the population has declined by at least 70%, and no specimens were found in 2007 during surveys that had recorded them in 1998.1

2

It has been documented hybridising with the snake Aipysurus laevis, and a 2006 study found the two species are closely related.1

3

This snake gives birth to live young instead of laying eggs.1

4

It usually lives in shallow water, from the surface down to about 12 metres, though it has occasionally been recorded at depths of up to 30 metres.1
