what the HELL is that?! Is it hard or just very big?

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Dunno. I reckon it might be water based.
Where do crocs sleep? Where do they spend most of their time?

One Of Those Sea Snakes That Can Poison 10,000 People With One Bite

The Fierce Snake (Oxyuranus microlepidotus) from Australia has, drop for drop, the most poisonous venom of any snake in the world.

The first live specimen was not captured until 1975 and not much is known about its habits. The Fierce snake's venom is extremely toxic and a small animal would die within seconds, its nervous system and heart instantly paralysed. The Fierce Snake's venom is more than fifty times as potent as the Indian Cobra's. The maximum yield recorded for one bite is 110mg. That would be enough to kill over one hundred people or quarter of a million mice.

The Fierce Snake only lives in an isolated area around where the South Australian, New South Wales and Queensland borders meet. It is usually most active in the early half of the morning when it basks. In cooler weather, it is also active in the afternoon; in hot weather it becomes nocturnal.

The Taipan (Oxyuranus scutellatus) was thought to be the world's most venemous snake until the discovery of the Fierce Snake, its cousin. The Taipan lives in the far North of Australia and down the Queensland coast, and has been found in Western New South Wales as far South as the Murray River.

The Taipan is an agressive hunter, moving at high speed through grasslands with ease. On finding its prey by scent, it flings itself at the victim and inflicts several rapid bites. Like most other venomous snakes, the Taipan uses its venom sparingly. As they don't regard man as prey, they have been know to strike and bite without releasing any venom at all.

That's what I was THINKING but then I looked up this Saltwater Crocodile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It seems they take things on LAND too.

i think the SEA SNAKE should be exempt from being put under the 'snake umbrella' as it is WATER rather than LAND
