Sea Snake (Hydrophis spp.): Highly venomous and adapted to marine life, sea snakes inhabit warm coastal waters, especially in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Their venom is among the most potent of any snake, capable of causing muscle breakdown, paralysis, and kidney failure. Despite this, they are generally docile and rarely bite unless provoked. Most incidents occur when fishermen handle nets. Antivenom exists, but access in remote areas is limited. Their role in controlling fish and eel populations is vital. Encounters are infrequent, but their presence underscores the hidden dangers beneath the ocean's surface, even in seemingly calm waters.
