Recently, a highly toxic 'yellow bellied Sea snake' has been found off the coast of Oxnard, Southern California. Local environmental groups say that this kind of sea snake usually appears in warmer waters and may appear on the beach due to the influence of El Nino.
Murray, who works for the local environmental group heal the Bay, said the yellow bellied Sea snake is a descendant of Asian Cobra and Australian tiger snake, and its venom is one of the most poisonous in the world. She said that this is the first time that yellow bellied sea snakes have been seen in California since the 1980s, and it also happened during El Nino 30 years ago.

However, heal the bay also stressed "don't panic" on the fan page. Even though the snake is highly poisonous and has been witnessed many times on this beach recently, it should be the same one. The sea snake was probably washed ashore by the waves and couldn't go back to the sea. Later, the official staff soon died and was taken to the natural history museum in Los Angeles.
It is understood that the yellow bellied Sea snake often appears in the Pacific Ocean and can secrete neurotoxin to kill fish. Its toxicity is about 10 times that of the Egyptian Cobra. However, the amount of detoxification is small and it seldom attacks actively. At present, there is no case of human being being being bitten and poisoned by the yellow bellied Sea snake and causing death.
