Title
Kemp's
Ridley
Hatchlings
Location
Rancho
Nuevo
,
Mexico
Description
The
Kemp's
Ridley
is
a
critically
endangered
species
,
threatened
today
by
habitat
loss
,
poaching
,
pollution
, and
entanglement
in
fishing
lines
.
Hatchlings
are
especially
vulnerable
to
predation
. The
Kemp's
Ridley
is
the
smallest
species
of
sea
turtle
and
is
the
only
turtle
that
seems
to
prefer
nesting
in the
daytime
. In the
1940's
, these
turtles
reportedly
nested
in
large
groups
of
up
to
40,000
individuals
in
Rancho
Nuevo
,
Mexico
.
However
,
exploitation
by
humans
brought
this
number
down
to
1,000
by the
1970's
.
