Its venom is rich in enzymes that break down prey inside the body, which simplifies digestion. The venom also affects both the muscles and nerves of the prey, and it is used to incapacitate the prey.1

Kotsi go batho: E kotsi thataE ka bolaya motho yo o sa alafiweng.

If provoked, it will engage the attacker, and during the day it hides inside coral holes.1

Prawn trawls are one of its greatest threats, and up to 50% of olive sea snakes caught in trawls are killed.1

4

Males can reach sexual maturity in their third year, while females do not mature until their fourth or fifth year.1
