On Sunday (9-01-22) we spotted a sea snake on the shore during a waterfowl census conducted by Warblers and Waders from Veli to Perumatura.  It will be washed ashore in a big wave. 'Unable to go back to the sea, we left the sea snake in the sun.  Later, when we went home and talked to the snake experts, we found that the sea snake we saw was Graceful Small- headed Sea Snake- Hydrophis gracilis, which had not been reported in Kerala before. Thus, it was added as the seventh species of sea snake found in Kerala.  Experts also suggest that the baby snake is a sea snake.  It is astonishing that we are conserving natural biodiversity despite polluting and destroying the oceans.  Image shared here .
