The hook-nosed sea snake is one of the most venomous snakes in the world. It has a short beak-shaped nose, a laterally compressed body, and a tail resembling an oar for swimming in the sea.
The hook-nosed sea snake differs from other sea snakes in its nose shape and one of the strongest venoms among snakes. It is important for nature because it regulates fish populations in coastal areas.
Immature form that undergoes metamorphosis before adulthood.
