A venomous sea snake was found on Omaha Beach near Auckland, New Zealand, earlier this week.
The yellow-bellied sea snake was alive when first spotted by a beachgoer but was found dead when rangers arrived. The Department of Conservation believes it may have been bitten by a dog or harmed by someone.
The snake likely washed ashore because of recent rough weather. DOC ranger Karl Fisher explained that sea snakes can get tired and come onto land, but they aren’t built for moving on the beach and become weak and slow.
The yellow-bellied sea snake is dangerous and can be aggressive. While they live in the ocean around New Zealand from spring to autumn, it’s very rare to see one on land. Because of the recent extreme weather, other sea animals and birds have also been blown ashore.
The DOC has taken the snake to their office in Warkworth for examination. Officials are warning people to stay away from the southern part of Omaha Beach and to keep dogs away from the area.
The public is reminded that these sea snakes are protected by law. It is illegal to kill or keep them. Anyone who sees a sea snake should stay clear and report it.
“We want people to be safe, especially children and dog walkers,” said Fisher.
we should stop vaping!!!
I think it is good to vape in order to break a smoking addiction so long you don’t get hooked on vaping too!!
I think we should stop vaping it is twice as worse as smoking and a lot of people are getting peer pressured into it
We should all stop smoking and vaping and hopefully New Zealand becomes a some free country.
if we all stop vaping and smoking we will make nz a healthier place.
I think we should ban smoking/vaping

In my opinion, vaping and smoking should be banned and destroyed. It affects your brain and your lungs and you do not want to get addicted to it.
Vaping is a bad thing and so is cigaretting
stop smokingggg
Vaping puts nicotine into the body. Nicotine is highly addictive and can: slow brain development in teens and affect memory,concetiration,learning,self-control,attention,and mod.
we shold stop vaping this is bad for our body and stop putting them on the ground and dont drink drugs
Vaping and smoking should be banned but it also shouldn’t be banned, here’s why vaping and smoking are highly addictive and it is very hard to stop doing once you are hooked on it but a lot of people
Please stop it is bad
jasper,I do not agree with you because then we just get addicted to vaping instead of smoking.The Government should stop selling vapes and smokes and drugs because they activate dopamine in your brain and make it really addictive,plus it makes your brain go crazy!I would not advise you to do that!!!

we should stop vaping/smoking becuses its bad for ur body and for ur health,like kids are vaping in our school and its not cool.my parents disagree bc they love vaping but i searched some stuff up and saw that vaping is way more worse then smoking and if we stop this nz will be smoke free!
Jasper is wrong as they are both bad and none of them should be practiced try nicotine gum instead but not for long because it also has side effects if taken for too long.
whe should all stop vaping cause its bad for your health and its basicly like smoking and smoking can cause you a heart attack.
I feel like this a total monster of a burger look’s more like a grilled cheese than a burger

Vaping is terrible and some idiotic people might not think so, and some young children might see their parents doing it and want to do it to this is terrible! even though you are addicted, stop vaping and smoking and soon your addiction will go away.
