Warns against sexually aroused snake

In a fresh research report It is said that the sea snake Aipysurus laevis – especially males – often visit divers in the winter. Researchers from three Australian universities believe that the deletion is not due to the snakes being curious about humans, but rather that they are in the middle of the mating season and therefore sexually aroused.

The snakes can confuse the divers with rivals or potential partners, the researchers believe.

– At first glance, the idea that a snake can confuse a human diver with another snake seems ridiculous, given the big difference in size and shape between the two. Nevertheless, this is the most likely explanation for our observations, the report states, according to The Guardian.

The researchers point out in particular that sea snakes have poor underwater vision. However, the snakes’ proximity is not harmless, according to the researchers, who point out that the snake’s bite is poisonous.

– A bite is unlikely unless the animal is threatened or injured. (…) Trying to escape is probably useless and can even increase the zeal for the hunter, the researchers write, and advise divers to stand still if the snake approaches.

Aipysurus laevis is a species of poisonous sea snake located in the Indo-Pacific area, which includes the western and central parts of the Pacific Ocean. The snake lives near the famous Great Barrier Reef outside Australia.
