Olive Ridley Sea Turtles

The Olive Ridley Sea Turtles are again infants weighing in at 100 pounds and measuring just 2 1/2 feet long. Unlike their cousins the Green Sea Turtles, Olive Ridleys are carnivores, they eat meat.

There are about one million Olive Ridleys swimming around today, but their numbers are dropping fast - between 30-50% in the last few years. Their rate of decline is such that Olive Ridleys are officially vulnerable to extinction. There are a lot of them, but we're losing them fast!

There are a few populations of Olive Ridleys across tropical oceans including the Great Barrier Reef in the Pacific. Some populations are growing like Brazil, and some shrinking like the Atlantic, by 80% in recent years. There used to be over 10 million! That gives you an idea of the dangers they face; ghost or discarded fishing nets, plastic bags which they think are food, climate change disrupting their breeding patterns with warmer beaches producing more females and, of course, people.

Olive Ridley’s are the second smallest of the Sea Turtles and their shells are Olive coloured fused bone. Sea Turtles wear their bones on the outside! They have beaks, not teeth, made of Keratin, same as our nails, and Rhino horns. Sea Turtles have been around for over 100 million years and we’ve lost over 90% of them in the last 50.
