It can do major fluid shifts between nonvascular and vascular compartments to significantly compensate hypovolemia...

They also have an unusual lung system.
The trachea of the windpipe provides an "extra" lung which is endowed with blood vessels that leads into the "true lung" which in turn connects to an air sac called the "saccular lung" which is poorly endowed with blood vessels as it is mainly for oxygen.Olive sea snakes obtain between 10 and 22 per cent of their total oxygen needs in this way. They also purge large amounts of carbon dioxide through the skin.
