ISBN10: 0868407763, ISBN13: 9780868407760, [publisher: University of New South Wales Press] Softcover This scarce book on Sea Snakes describes the varieties and distribution of sea snakes, how they go about their daily lives underwater, what they eat and what eats them, and how they reproduce and grow. It also discusses how sea snakes cope with excess salt and scarcity of fresh water, and how they adjust to diving at depth and enduring long periods without breathing. The nature of their venom and how it functions in subduing large, active prey is also explained. The book has a small shelf stain on the bottom.
