On a scientific expedition, Ben Cropp
travels out into the Coral Sea to study the venomous sea snake, with a venom
believed to be 10 times more potent than a cobra.
While filming the snakes during their
mating season, some snakes become aggressive, and the divers fend off attacks
by kicking them, which only serves to aggravate the snakes even more.
They try a different approach. A
diver freezes and lets a 2 metre sea snake crawl all over him, even though it
could easily penetrate his wetsuit and inject its fatal venom.
