Question

olive Ridley sea turtle in 150 words​

Answer 1

Answer:

The olive ridley turtle (Lepidochelys olivacea) is the smallest and most abundant of all sea turtles, growing up to 70 cm and weighing 45 kg, on average. The olive ridley gets its name from its olive green coloured carapace, which is heart-shaped. Males and females grow to the same size; however, females have a slightly more rounded carapace. The turtle has 5 to 9 pairs of costal scutes and either one or two claws on each flipper. Indian Ocean olive ridley turtles are, on average, smaller than individuals found in the Pacific and the Atlantic.
