Banded sea krait, Laticauda colubrina
Sea kraits are a type of sea snake. Sea snakes are divided into two subfamilies, laticaudinae and hydrophiinae, with the former of the two distinguished from other sea snakes by the fact they are amphibious (lives on land and water), versus aquatic (never leaving the water). Sea kraits are ovoviviparous, returning to land to lay their eggs, versus other viviparous species that bear their young in the water (subfamily hydrophiinae, aquatic sea snakes). [eng] |
