Baby sea snakes released after incredible tale of survival
Three baby sea snakes have lived to tell an incredible tale of survival after their mother was found on a New South Wales beach clinging to life after giving birth.
Found washed up on a Pottsville Beach over a week ago, the mother and her five newly birthed offspring were rushed across the border to SeaWorld Hospital on the Gold Coast.
Treating the six reptiles in a specially designed tank at the park's Shark Bay, the centre's rehabilitation team were able to nurse three of the snakes back to good health.
