海蛇 咬伤吃:肉
对人的危险: 很疼可能真的很疼,但几乎从不严重。

The turtle-headed sea snake is a medium-sized sea snake with a short, blunt head. It lives in warm waters around northern Australia and some Pacific islands, including the Loyalty Islands of New Caledonia. It is special because it is the only sea snake known to eat fish eggs, and it has no palatal teeth.1

它吃什么?
It feeds only on fish eggs, mainly from demersal fish that attach their eggs to the seabed, such as damselfish, blennies and gobies. It eats small, frequent meals rather than large, infrequent ones. Larger snakes are more likely to eat damselfish eggs, which lie in exposed areas.1

它对人有多危险?

对人的危险: 很疼可能真的很疼,但几乎从不严重。

如果它咬人

  • 加压固定法:用有弹性的绷带紧紧缠住咬伤处,再缠满整条肢体,用夹板固定,让人完全不动,直到救援到来。
  • 把人带出水面,尽快送医院。

一定先拨打你的急救电话(112、000、911)。这里是一般急救指导,不是医疗建议。 急救基础

注意安全

  • 永远不要摸、抓或逗弄野生动物,即使是很小的,即使它看起来在睡觉或已经死了。
  • 给它留出空间。如果遇到它,保持冷静,慢慢后退,让它走自己的路。
  • 如果被它咬了:保持冷静,保持不动,拨打你的急救电话(112、000、911)或尽快去医院。记住它长什么样,拍张照片会有帮助。

它不是冲着你来的。它用毒液捕猎或保护自己,而且它更愿意躲起来。 更多安全知识

事实

1

It is the only sea snake that does not have palatal teeth.1

2

Its feeding method has been compared to that of a grazing mammal.1

3

Algae growing on the body can slow the snake by up to 20%. Darker, plain snakes collect more algae than paler, patterned ones.1

4

Males find females by sight and by tongue-flicking, because pheromones do not travel well in water.1

5

Females grow larger than males, and males have much rougher scales.1
