Sea snakes are very dangerous and unpredictable reptiles. Not much is known about them, although these predators cannot be called rare animals. They spend almost all their time in the depths of the sea.

Spreading

They live in the coastal tropical waters of the Pacific and Indian oceans. They also live in the seas from the eastern coast of Africa to the western coast of Central America. Sea snakes are found in the Red Sea, in the northern waters of Japan, Caribbean. IN different sources There is information that reptiles live in other territories, but this opinion is erroneous. For example, sea snakes are not found in the Black Sea, they are simply often confused with a water snake.

Reptiles are most attracted to the mouths of those rivers that flow into the sea. They usually give preference to coastal areas 5-6 km from the coast. However, the predator can swim a maximum of 160 km from land.

It is not uncommon for a sea snake to be washed ashore by waves, or to remain on land during low tide. If the reptile cannot reach the water, it will die. She can stay on land for a maximum of about two hours, after which she begins to go blind and suffocate.

Description

Sea snakes form a separate family and number about 48 species. Most of these reptiles cannot move on land because their bodies are only adapted to life in water.

Such a predator usually has a bright color - contrasting rings of light and dark shades. Flat-tails are the most brightly colored. The abdominal scutes of reptiles, unlike their amphibian relatives, are reduced or completely absent as unnecessary.

The scales of the sea snake do not overlap each other like tiles, but are arranged in a honeycomb pattern.

The body shape, depending on the type of reptile, also varies. Basically, sea snakes have a very narrow head and the same neck region. This allows you to detect and reach prey even in the narrowest crevices of the reefs. Despite this, the reptile is capable of swallowing an animal that is twice the girth of the predator.

The sea snake has a laterally flattened tail that resembles a fin. He helps her when moving.

Options and behavior

Usually a sea snake small size, reaches only 70-140 cm in length. The exception is the spiral leaftail, which grows up to 2.7 meters. The weight of snakes is also small - from 0.6 to 1.5 kg. Moreover, females are usually larger than males.

Despite these parameters, these are very dangerous animals, since all species are poisonous.

It is worth noting that large sea snakes are just a myth that sailors used to love to tell upon returning from their voyages.

The reptile swims both backwards and forwards at the same speed. Maybe long time be motionless. Neutral buoyancy is provided by a layer of fat that hugs internal organs predator.

Usually snakes do not swim deeper than 30 meters, but if necessary they dive to 100 m.

Breathing Features

It has been proven that sea snakes breathe through skin penetrated by blood capillaries. Despite the fact that the predator has thick scales, 25% of the oxygen necessary for life is absorbed through it. Thus, the reptile can stay under water for 1.5-2 hours. However, these reptiles do not have gills, which is why they are still forced to rise to the surface to breathe. To do this, the snake exposes only the tip of its head with nostrils from the water. When diving, they close, which prevents water from entering the respiratory tract.

The right lung of the snake is extended along the entire length of the body, right up to the tail. It also acts as an air and swim bladder reservoir.

Underwater, the reptile can absorb oxygen through the mucous membrane of the oral cavity.

Due to the structure of the respiratory tract, the animal cannot hiss, but instead makes gurgling and gurgling sounds.

Nutrition

The sea snake is active at any time of the day. In the morning and evening, most often it is on the surface of the water, basking in the sun.

The sea snake's diet consists of fish, eels, shrimp, and less often crustaceans. They hunt mainly from ambush or pretend to be dead, while simply lying motionless on the surface of the water, which attracts the attention of curious fish. Just a sudden movement of the predator allows it to catch the prey. The reptile may also pursue its prey, especially while awaiting the consequences of its bite.

When it enters the body, the poison does not cause the development of a tumor or hemorrhage, but acts on nervous system. In this case, paralysis of the respiratory center occurs, which leads to the rapid death of prey. The sea snake swallows its prey completely, starting from the head. If the fish is large, then it absorbs it gradually, digesting it as it goes. It is not uncommon to see the reptile with its victim's tail sticking out of its mouth. But the sea snake avoids prickly fish, so you can see sea bass swimming freely next to it.

After the meal, the reptile arranges a “quiet hour” for itself. For example, flat-tails crawl out of the water onto reefs and expose to the sun exactly that part of the body where the swallowed prey is located.

Sea snake venom

It has been proven that these reptiles are one of the most poisonous animals on earth. The predator's teeth are located on the upper jaw. They are without special labor bite through fish scales. It follows from this that human skin is not a serious barrier for them.

The venom of a sea snake is much more toxic than that of its amphibian relatives; just one drop of it can kill 10 people. This is due to the fact that fish are less susceptible to it, unlike warm-blooded animals. It is worth noting that in young individuals it is toxic from birth.

The most venomous sea snakes in the world belong to a species called Dubois.

Sea snakes shed more often than land snakes - every 2-6 weeks. They crawl out of the old skin by clinging to the roughness of the bottom or scratching their heads on the stones. Those species that live only near the surface of the water, due to the lack of a hard surface nearby, curl into a ball and seem to squeeze themselves out of the old skin.

The reptile's teeth are numerous, hooked and very sharp. In addition to poisonous ones, there are also simple ones.

Sea snakes and man

People often have to deal with reptiles, since quite often they get entangled in nets along with fish. However, most often it is taken out with bare hands, released back into the water, or killed. This is due to the fact that even the most sea Poisonous snakes Only as a last resort do they use their formidable weapons as defense. Mostly only during hunting.

But, for example, in India, on the coast of Goa, sea snakes are also very often caught in nets (up to 100 at a time), and fishermen stun them and leave them on the shore. Therefore, if you see a reptile, you should not come close to it: in this state, its behavior can be unpredictable.

However, the snake is still considered to be of little danger to humans, since it does not perceive it as prey and itself tries to avoid contact.

Consequences of a bite

If the poison does enter the human body, it can cause serious consequences and even death if appropriate measures are not taken. The bite itself is usually almost unnoticeable, and swelling and redness around the wound are also rare. However, help must be provided to the person as early as possible.

The first symptoms of poisoning are thirst, headache, vomiting, sweating, and a rapidly swollen tongue. They usually appear half an hour after the bite. Also changes the color of urine - it becomes brown or black.

A similar condition in a person is observed for several hours, then the muscles are paralyzed. Depending on the amount of poison that enters the body and the person’s parameters, death occurs after a few hours. The main reason paralysis of the respiratory center becomes. It is worth noting that in our time there is an effective antidote, so at the first symptoms it is necessary to urgently consult a doctor; first, the affected part of the body should be immobilized.

Vacationers are often bitten by Red Sea sea snakes because their peace is disturbed by swimmers. This most often happens in areas with dense vegetation.

Statistics show that an encounter with a dangerous reptile results in death only in 3% of cases. Most often, bites are observed below the knee.

Reproduction

Most species of sea snakes produce offspring once a year. The male has two penises at once (the so-called hemipenises), but during the mating process he uses only one. The process itself can take quite a long time, so the reptiles have to go up to breathe. At this moment, the male is attached to the female by the hemipenis, and until mating is over, he will not be able to separate from her.

Some species of sea snakes have a courtship process. For example, in the tortoiseshell and olive snake, the male pursues the female and touches her neck and head. During the breeding season, sea snakes can form aggregations that stretch for tens of kilometers.

Pregnancy (depending on the type of reptile) lasts from 4 to 11 months. Females even form some kind of placenta. Perhaps because of this, the cubs are born large, sometimes reaching half the length of their mother. However, there are only 1-2 small snakes in a litter.

They are born tail first so as not to choke, and immediately wrap themselves around the back of the material. Young individuals will live in the lagoon for several months, after which they move to more deep places. At first, a mother takes care of her children. After two years they reach sexual maturity. The total lifespan of a sea snake is 10 years.

However, not all of them are viviparous: for example, flat-tailed fish lay eggs. The mating process also takes place on land, in shelters on the shore.

Who is a danger to the sea snake

The formidable predator also has its enemies. The most important of them is the Indian sea eagle, for which the reptile is daily food. He grabs a sea snake in flight from the surface of the water.

Sometimes a dangerous predator also becomes a victim of a shark, especially a tiger shark. By the way, the remains of snakes are often found in her stomach. Other predatory fish pose the same danger.

In many countries, especially tropical ones, the sea snake is a commercial object. Quite often it is exported to Japan. If giant sea snakes existed, they would be a desirable trophy for the population of these countries.
