Olive Ridley turtles come ashore in Costa Rica
This video was made 11-8-012. Thank you to Marvin of Mardigi Tours for this opportunity and trip. Olive ridleys are among the smallest of all marine turtles weighing about 100 pounds or so. For most of their lives, they live far off shore, sometimes more than 2500 miles out into the Pacific and the sexually mature females (ages 15 and up) return to the same beach from which they hatched. There are about 40 different beaches along the Pacific coast of Costa Rica where olive ridleys nest (typically in small numbers) but the two most famous for massive arribadas are Nancite and Ostional, both of which are quite close to the very popular Gold Coast tourist destination of Tamarindo.From:Kathy NiemannViews:0 0ratingsTime:05:10More inPets Animals
