Hundreds of Thousands of Indian Turtles to Make Annual Nesting Trip

Description

Thousands upon thousands of the world’s smallest sea turtle, the Olive Ridley, made their annual nesting migration to the Rushikulya river mouth in eastern India’s Ganjam district on Wednesday. Up to 600,000 females make the same trip every year during the final weeks of February until early March so they can lay their eggs at the very same beach where they themselves hatched.
