The spine-tailed sea snake is a sea snake that lives in shallow bays and estuaries in northern Australia, South-East Asia and New Guinea. It is unusual because it eats almost only fish eggs, and it has lost its fangs. It is one of the few sea snakes whose bite is unlikely to be dangerous to people.1

Kuogelea, makadirio

Hula nini?

It eats mostly the eggs of bottom-dwelling (benthic) fishes, and it has strong throat muscles that help it swallow them.1

Jinsi ya kumtambua

Its head shields are regular and symmetrical.1
Its smooth scales on the back are arranged in 17 rows around the middle of the body.1
It has 141 to 149 distinct belly scales (ventrals) along its body and 27 to 30 scales under its tail (subcaudals).1
Adults can reach a snout to vent length (the distance from the tip of the snout to the vent) of about 1 m.1

Nguvu ya sumu

Kuumwa

Sumu hutoka kupitia meno yake ya sumu au meno anapouma.

Sumu yake hufanya nini?

Unlike most sea snakes, it has lost its fangs, and its venom glands have shrunk and are almost entirely non-functional. Its venom is much weaker than that of related sea snakes, because a small change in one of its venom genes reduces the venom's toxicity.1

Ana hatari gani kwa watu?

Hatari kwa watu: InaumaInaweza kuuma sana, lakini karibu kamwe si jambo zito.

Because it has no fangs and its venom is very weak, its bite is unlikely to be a serious threat to people.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

Ukweli

It feeds almost exclusively on fish eggs, which is very unusual among sea snakes.1

Only one other species of sea snake, Emydocephalus annulatus, shares this egg-only diet.1

It has strong throat muscles, reduced teeth and a much smaller body than most other sea snakes, all linked to its special diet.1

It gives birth to live young, even though it is a snake that hatches its eggs inside the body.1
