3rd Yellow-bellied Sea Snake, Tangimoana beach, Manawatu coast

Postby Michael Szabo » Mon May 10, 2021 6:07 pm

A third Yellow-bellied Sea Snake has been found on the Manawatū coast in the lower North Island.

A family group out looking for shells at Tangimoana Beach on the Manawatū Coast came across a highly venomous yellow-bellied sea snake in the high tide mark on Anzac Day.
