Nick Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 There is a sea snake washed up on the beach near where I'm working. The local aquarium is on the way to deal with it 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxkenny90xx Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Very strange. I'm assuming if the local aquarium is on the way then they aren't typical in the pnw? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markvo Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 That has to be an eel. No sea snakes anywhere near here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

albertareef Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 This actually made it to O-live... apparently only the third reported sighting ever. https://www.oregonlive.com/news/2020/03/pacific-snake-eel-rarely-seen-in-oregon-washes-up-near-astoria.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
