The existence of every organism in nature is the key to maintaining the earth's biodiversity, and the existence of each organism is the key to maintaining the ecological balance.
The earliest life on Earth appeared in the ocean, and life in the process of gradual evolution, caused the creatures in the ocean to go to land, and the creatures in the land to fly into the sky, so we can always find organisms with high genetic similarities in different regions.
Snakes are a very ancient creature, not only on land, but also in the water, so how dangerous are sea snakes? Scientists say there is a case in which sea snakes chase people to bite. So far, the snake venom known to humans is roughly divided into the following types: mixed snake venom, blood snake venom and nerve snake venom.
The cobra venom is a kind of mixed snake venom, in which the king cobra is a very dangerous animal because of its large size and the huge amount of venom it emits at a time. However, compared to the sea snake, the king cobra is a small witch. The toxin of the sea snake is many times higher than that of the king cobra, if you encounter a sea snake in the deep sea, you must not panic, do not take the initiative to provoke the sea snake, maybe you can give yourself a glimmer of life.
An Australian biologist, in order to explore the secrets of the sea snake, he once spent 250 hours in the ocean, encountered 158 olive sea snakes, of which 100 female olive sea snakes, male olive sea snakes 58, but he was able to be safe, this time the study also let Lynch know the secret of the olive sea snake.
The venom of the olive sea snake is very strong, its venom can kill twenty young people at a time, and the size of the olive sea snake is not small, the average body length is about 1.2 meters, the adult olive sea snake body length can reach about 2 meters, and the adult male olive sea snake weighs about 700 grams.
Lynch spent 250 hours in the deep sea, where he encountered 100 female olive sea snakes and 58 male olive sea snakes, and according to his description, the female olive sea snake was very cold to his presence, but the male olive sea snake showed a strong interest in him.
Before doing this experiment, Lynch also roughly understood the temperament of the olive sea snake, so when the male olive sea snake showed great interest in Lynch, he did not panic, nor did he rush to break free of the olive sea snake, but instead played a game with the olive sea snake. So after a while the male olive sea snake left, so Lynch was not injured.
The reason why Lynch chose to study the olive sea snake in this sea area is because olive sea snakes are often found in this sea area, so he wants to find the key point of the secret here. Lynch came up with surprisingly consistent answers after interviewing some patients who had been bitten by olive sea snakes. These divers are very flustered after encountering the olive sea snake, and find that the olive sea snake is entangled with them, so they will run wildly, so the olive sea snake will bite the diver and make them quiet.
Divers are frequently bitten by olive sea snakes from May to August of each year, and during this period the olive sea snake breeding period, so their enthusiasm for divers is also a manifestation of courtship.
Whether it's a snake on land or a snake in the sea, they send a signal before courtship. However, snakes on land are very easy to receive signals, and in comparison, the frequency of receiving signals in the sea is not so strong, so it is necessary for olive sea snakes to be close to aquatic creatures and to perceive what kind of creatures the other party is by spitting out their tongues, so that they can determine whether they can mate. So Lynch had also felt the threat of the olive sea snake on his letters up close.
The female olive sea snake used him as a refuge when she met Lynch, because the female olive sea snake was eager to get rid of the crazy courtship of the male olive sea snake, so they only stayed by Lynch's side for a short time and would soon leave.
However, the male olive sea snake showed a very strong interest in Lynch because the male olive sea snake mistakenly believed that Lynch was a female olive sea snake, and it was easy to be bitten by the olive sea snake during this period. Because the olive sea snake is in the process of entanglement, it is easy for people to panic and run away because of panic, so the olive sea snake will suddenly bite a bite, or the olive sea snake in the process of courtship, found that the other party is not a female olive sea snake, so it will bite the diver in anger.
In short, the breeding season of olive sea snakes is from May to August of each year, so if you want to dive during this period, you will be entangled with olive sea snakes. Therefore, if you encounter an olive sea snake, you must stay calm, in most cases the olive sea snake is misidentified by the courtship target, so it will pester the diver. Because the olive sea snake's vision is not very good, it needs to be in close contact with the creature and perceive the shape of the creature through the spit, so it will appear to "play" with the diver.
The toxin carried by the olive sea snake itself is a mixed toxin, and it also has a muscle toxin, so when the olive sea snake bites a human, there will be no pain at all, and once it is found, it is basically very late, missing the best treatment period, so try to avoid diving in May to August every year.
