Sea turtles are charismatic animals that have been around for millions of years. There is some debate on the number of sea turtle species, although seven have traditionally been recognized.

Six of the species are classified in the Family Cheloniidae. This family includes the hawksbill, green, flatback, loggerhead, Kemp's ridley, and olive ridley turtles. These all look fairly similar when compared to the seventh species, the leatherback. The leatherback looks very different from the other species and is the only sea turtle species in its own family, Dermochelyidae.

All seven species of sea turtles are listed under the Endangered Species Act.

Kemp's Ridley Turtle

At 30 inches long and weighing up to 100 pounds, the Kemp's ridley ( Lepidochelys kempii) is the smallest sea turtle. This species is named after Richard Kemp, the fisherman who first described them in 1906.

Kemp's ridley turtles prefer to eat benthic organisms such as crabs.

They are coastal turtles and found in temperate to subtropical waters in the western Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico. Kemp's ridleys are most often found in habitats with sandy or muddy bottoms, where it is easy to find prey. They are famous for nesting in huge groups called arribadas.

Olive Ridley Turtle

Olive ridley turtles ( Lepidochelys olivacea) are named for-you guessed it-their olive-colored shell. Like the Kemp's ridley, they are small and weigh less than 100 pounds.

They eat mostly invertebrates such as crabs, shrimp, rock lobsters, jellyfish, and tunicates, although some primarily eat algae.

They are found in tropical regions around the world. Like Kemp's ridley turtles, during nesting, olive ridley females come to shore in colonies of up to a thousand turtles, with mass nesting aggregations called arribadas. These occur on the coasts of Central America and India.
