Sea snakes

The Hydrophiinae, also known as sea snakes, are a subfamily of venomous elapid snakes that inhabit marine environments for most or all of their lives. Though most are extensively adapted to a fully aquatic life and are unable to move on land, having large lungs for long dives. They are found in warm coastal waters from the Indian Ocean to the Pacific and aren't endangered but are very neat creatures.
