Rough-scaled sea snake
KuumwaThe rough-scaled sea snake is a striped sea snake that lives in the Gulf of Carpentaria, in northern Australia. It was first found in 2000 but was not formally described until 2012. It is venomous enough to be dangerous to people, and it is very rare.1
Jinsi ya kumtambua
- Yellow to brown body with stripes1
- A single spine on every scale covering the body1
- Grows up to about 100 cm long1
- A larger and rounder skull than most other Hydrophis sea snakes1
Mara nyingi huchanganywa na: Other sea snakes in the genus Hydrophis can look similar. It can be told apart by a lack of a groove running through the scales on its underside, a larger and rounder skull, differing numbers of scales around the body in different regions, and more stripes than many sea snakes have.1

Ana hatari gani kwa watu?
Hatari kwa watu: MbayaKuumwa kunahitaji daktari. Vifo ni nadra sana.It is venomous enough to be dangerous to humans. Only 9 have ever been found in more than a decade of sea snake research in the area, so encounters are very rare.1
Akiuma
- Kubana na kutotikisa: funga bandeji nyororo kwa nguvu juu ya jeraha kisha mguu au mkono mzima, weka banzi, na umweke mtu bila kutikisika kabisa hadi msaada ufike.
- Mtoe mtu majini na umpeleke hospitali haraka.
Daima piga namba ya dharura kwanza (112, 000, 911). Huu ni mwongozo wa jumla wa huduma ya kwanza, si ushauri wa kitabibu. Misingi ya huduma ya kwanza
Kaa salama
- Kamwe usimguse, kumkamata wala kumchokoza mnyama wa porini, hata akiwa mdogo, na hata akionekana amelala au amekufa.
- Mpe nafasi. Ukikutana naye, tulia, rudi nyuma polepole na umwache aende zake.
- Akikuuma: tulia, usitikisike, piga namba yako ya dharura (112, 000, 911) au nenda hospitali haraka. Kumbuka alivyoonekana, picha husaidia.
Hakuwindi wewe. Hutumia sumu yake kukamata chakula au kujilinda, na hupendelea zaidi kujificha. Zaidi kuhusu kukaa salama

Ana kasi gani?
Ukweli
Only 9 rough-scaled sea snakes were found in more than a decade of local sea snake research, while researchers encountered some 10,000 other sea snakes in the same period.1
Divers in the area share the waters with bull sharks, saltwater crocodiles and box jellyfish, which make surveying the area dangerous.1
Its single spine on each scale may help protect it from being knocked against the rocks of its estuary home by waves and currents.1
It has avoided being caught by prawn fishermen because it prefers shallow rocky estuary waters, which are not fished for prawns.1
It was discovered in 2000 but was not formally described until 2012, 12 years later.1
