The Olive Sea Snake often hides among coral reefs, with venom potent enough to kill any species, including humans.
The Olive Sea Snake can kill 20 adult humans at once with the amount of venom injected in a single bite.
They have fangs that are 4mm long, used to inject two different types of venom into their prey.
With a head that appears threatening and aggressive, the Olive Sea Snake is one of the “master hunters” of the ocean floor. They possess fangs that are 4mm long, which they use to inject two different types of venom with each bite into their unfortunate prey.
When the two types of venom are injected into the prey’s body (one type attacks the nervous system, while the other targets the muscles), the victim quickly suffers a painful death.
Additionally, they can swim at impressive speeds and have the ability to suddenly appear before their prey thanks to their highly sensitive “scenting” ability.
A secret weapon that this sea snake possesses is its nerve cells capable of sensing light at its tail. This advantage acts like an additional “eye,” allowing them to hunt more easily and evade larger predators.
