Olive-Brown Sea Snake
This sea snake lives up to its name with its olive-brown, golden brown, or gray body, but it often has a pale, cream- colored belly. They’re found in the waters of the coral
reefs and along the coasts in northern Australia, as well as the southwest Pacific Ocean. They are built for aquatic living, but need to come up for air every once in a while. To help them survive, they have a flat, paddle-like tail and one big lung that lets them stay under water for up to two hours at a time.
