BROOME, Australia, Sept. 15 (UPI) -- A visitor to an Australian beach captured video of an enormous and extremely venomous sea snake slithering across the sand.

Tonchi McIntosh captured video Tuesday on Cable Beach, near Broome, Western Australia, of the olive sea snake slithering across the sand on the shore line.

The snake eventually swims back out to the sea with the tide.

The massive snake is extremely venomous, but the species is considered unlikely to harm humans unless it feels threatened.
