Beaked sea snake

Meet the Enhydrina schistosa, which is commonly known as the beaked sea snake, the hook-nosed sea snake, common sea snake, or the Valakadyn sea snake. Yesh, could it have more names? Yeah, probably. However, this realy isn’t a laughing matter as it is a highly venomous species of the sea snake common throughout the tropical Indo-Pacific. This snake is part of more than 50% of all bites caused by sea snakes, as well as the majority of envenomings and fatalities. Yikes.

Forest cobra

The Forest Cobra is also known as the black cobra or the black and white-lipped cobra. This snake is native to Africa, mostly in the central and western parts of the continent. While bites to humans are actually far less common than from other African, a bite from this species is a life-threatening emergency.
