While rowing a boat, the man was 'questioned' by one of the most dangerous creatures

A famous Australian Vlogger named Brodiemoss clashed with one of the most dangerous creatures on the planet when the snake actively approached him. It swam towards Brodiemoss without fear, even trying to climb onto his paddle board.

However, when he noticed that there was nothing on the paddle board that he was looking for, the snake quickly turned and left. So what kind of snake is this and what is it looking for?


The snake gently approached the man, this is the most venomous snake in the world!

The snake approaching Brodiemoss is the Stokes sea snake (Scientific name: Hydrophis stokesii ) a venomous snake of the family Cobra distributed from waters in the Persian Gulf to the waters of Australia.

This is a snake with an average length of 1.5 m, a stocky body, a large triangular head, with translucent black cavities running along the spine. Their fangs are long enough (0.7 cm) to penetrate swimwear, making them extremely dangerous.

Worse yet, we still don't have the anti-venom serum of this snake! So what is the reason sea snakes often approach humans?

Normally, snakes (including extremely poisonous snakes) are also very afraid of humans and often find ways to hide. However, for sea snakes, they are completely opposite, especially when it comes to the breeding period of the year.

Male sea snakes will swim in search of a mate and this is when they are very aggressive and irritable, according to a study published by Scientific Reports that sea snakes like the Olive (Scientific name: Aipysurus laevis) ) males will tend to approach humans more.

The reason is that this snake thinks it is an opportunity to find a mate, so attacks also increase during this time. Their victims are often divers, windsurfers or boaters.

One of the reasons why sea snakes attack humans more at this time is because they often have to come to the surface to get air. Therefore, the possibility of encountering with humans increases.
