Fun fact: Some sea snakes can breathe through their skin.
Several species of sea snake can breathe through their skin. The Hydrophis cyanocinctus can breathe through an area of skin between its snout and the roof of the head. According to an article published in Royal Society Open Science, it has a small hole and collection of blood vessels in the area for picking up oxygen from the seawater, where it is sent to the brain while the snake moves underwater.
