This photo serves as a reminder that what lurks around the surface can be equally as menacing as the marine animals that inhabit the depths of our oceans. It resembles a sea snake, and there are about 60 known species of these venomous marine creatures. Let’s not forget that most anacondas inhabit river basins!
Actual sea snakes have features adapted to marine life, including elongated lungs and valvular nostrils. They also have scales, but unlike fish, theirs do not overlap but somewhat resemble paving stones. Sea snakes are also known to stay submerged for hours, given that they breathe via their skin.
