The
Kemps Ridley is the rarest of all sea turtles with their distribution
largely confined to the Gulf of Mexico where 95% of their nesting
occurs on a single beach on the east coast of Mexico.
Kemps
ridleys feed primarily on crustaceans and molluscs and live in areas
with muddy or sandy bottoms.
Kemps
ridley turtles are relatively small, averaging 66cm in curved carapace
length and weighing only 30 to 45kgs.
