Hydrophiinae
Sea snakes, also known as hydrophiids, are a group of venomous marine snakes that are found in tropical and subtropical waters around the world. They are characterized by their small size, slender bodies, and the ability to extract oxygen from water through their skin. There are many different species of sea snakes, including the Beaked sea snake (Enhydrina schistosa), the Yellow-bellied sea snake (Pelamis platura), and the Olive sea snake (Aipysurus laevis). Sea snakes are generally nonaggressive and do not pose a threat to humans unless they feel threatened or are handled. They are venomous and can be dangerous to humans if they are handled or accidentally touched, and their venom can be potentially fatal if left untreated.
