About this species
The olive ridley sea turtle (Lepidochelys olivacea), also known commonly as the Pacific ridley sea turtle, is a species of turtle in the family Cheloniidae. The species is the second-smallest and most abundant of all sea turtles found in the world. L. olivacea is found in warm and tropical waters, primarily in the Pacific and Indian Oceans, but also in the warm waters of the Atlantic Ocean.
This turtle and the related Kemp's ridley sea turtle are best known for their unique synchronised mass nestings called arribadas, where thousands of females come together on the same beach to lay eggs.

丽龟（学名：Lepidochelys olivacea）是海龟的一种，又称太平洋丽龟、榄蠵龟、橄龟、姬赖利海龟。它最大的特色是灰黑色心型背甲，外观像一颗大橄榄而得名为丽龟。种加词 olivacea 意为“橄榄状的”、“卵圆形的”。成龟体长达62到72公分，体重约45公斤。是世界上现存七种海龟中体型最小的。
丽龟是肉食性动物，食物包括各种鱼类、软体动物、甲壳类等。分布范围以热带69海域为主，偶而也会在温带海域中看到它。
丽龟母龟在繁殖期时，习惯于日间集体上岸产卵，个体母龟每季产下1到3窝，据南美苏里南的统计资料每窝大约平均116颗 (30至168) ，而太平洋东的统计资料显示每窝大约平均105 (74–126)。龟卵正常需45至51天才会孵化，幼龟刚出生时，长约43毫米，体重约24克左右，至少要12到30年才达到成年期。
由于丽龟习惯于白天集体上岸产卵，一次可能多达百只以上规模，场面相当壮观，世界各地以印度和墨西哥两地海岸，可以看到丽龟产卵的生态画面，印度的奥利萨省就曾出现超过上万只丽龟产卵的镜头 （页面存档备份，存于互联网档案馆）。墨西哥海滩上也曾出现，此习性造成盗猎者往往肆无忌惮的残杀丽龟。他们盗猎的原因是取得龟蛋，据称丽龟的龟卵是春药的主要成分。
