Olive Ridley Sea Turtles


Migration 
The best feeding ground of sea turtles may not be the best nesting ground for them. The sea turtles migrate thousands of kilometres to meet both the ends. It has been observed that Olive Ridley sea turtles migrate from the coastal water of Srilanka in the Indian ocean to the coastal water of Gahirmatha in the north.
