[did you know?] Sea Kraits

I saw this snake in the waters of Zambales, Philippines!  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laticauda

It turns out their venom are 10 times more poisonous than the King Cobra's venom!

But it turns out they are not so aggressive towards humans!

When I saw one in Zambales back in December, I immediately swam away frantically (as if I could outswim it).  It would have not harmed me but...  Damn!  Snakes out in the wild???  Are you kidding me???  No way!
