Dintlha

1

It can stay underwater for as long as two hours, closing its nostril valves while it dives.1

2

It also absorbs oxygen through its skin, which is shed more often than in land snakes. This helps remove attached sea creatures.1

3

It has only one lung, which is cylindrical and almost as long as its body.1

4

Males have two penises, called hemipenes, but only one is used during mating.1

5

A gland under its tongue excretes salt.1
