Field Notes

Description:

Sea kraits are essentially cobras that have become adapted to living in the ocean, returning to land to bask and reproduce. This species lives along ocean shores and is capable of dives lasting over an hour, feeding on reefs and shallow sandy bottoms. It returns to the land to hide during the day and may come ashore by the hundreds in mating groups.
