Deceased Olive-headed Sea Snake with fairly small puncture wounds which I tried to show in some of the close-up photos. What beautiful eyes this creature has. I hope it was naturally predated.

"Sea snakes, fully marine creatures inhabiting shallow tropical waters in Indopacific seas, swim with a graceful, undulating motion using a paddle-like tail but are helpless on land. All are highly venomous but unaggressive, rarely attacking humans. And their eyes are fascinating, as research increasingly reveals. Like other snakes, each eye lies under a transparent scale known as the spectacle, which replaces eyelids and leaves the eyes eternally open, giving snakes their stare. In marine habitats, the spectacle protects the cornea from the much saltier seawater."
