Stokes' sea snake is a large, heavy snake that lives in the sea. It is one of the heaviest sea snakes, and it has the longest fangs of any marine snake. It lives in tropical waters from India to the South China Sea, and in the warm seas around northern Australia.1

Xibaar

It has the longest fangs of any marine snake, long enough to pierce a wetsuit.1

Groups of thousands sometimes form and drift together in slicks, about a metre long, in the Strait of Malacca.1

It is one of the heaviest and stoutest sea snakes.1

Its colour is highly variable, which makes it hard to identify by colour alone.1
