The short-nosed sea snake is a venomous snake that lives in the sea. It is found on reefs off the northern coast of Western Australia, and it spends its whole life in the water. Scientists know very little about it, and it is considered rare.1

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

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

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

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

A gland under its tongue excretes salt.1
