Information about the Kemp’s Ridley Sea Turtle:
The Kemp’s Ridley Sea Turtle – also called the Atlantic Ridley Sea Turtle – is one of the smaller of the extant sea turtle species. It is also the rarest and most critically endangered. It is one of the two species of Lepidochelys, the other being the Olive Ridley Sea Turtle. These aquatic reptiles usually grow to be about 24–35 inches (60–90 centimeters) long and weighing roughly 100 pounds (45 kilograms.) The Kemp’s Ridley Sea Turtle is found in the western Atlantic Ocean from New Jersey in the north to the Gulf of Mexico in the south. They occasionally can be found as far east as Ireland and the UK. Like other sea turtles they are omnivorous and will eat various invertebrates such as mollusks, crustaceans, jellyfish, seaweed, and sea urchins. They will also feed on algae and seaweed. They are the only species of sea turtles that have breeding grounds in the Gulf of Mexico.

Artist’s notes:
The Kemp’s Ridley Sea Turtle was completed on 12.29.2012. This is the second to last of the extant species of sea turtles. I looked at dozens of reference photos but few exist that shows one swimming. So I created the sketch based on several different images. I had thought that this was the last extant species of sea turtle, but only today I learned about the Flatback Sea Turtle that I hopefully will be completing in the near future.

Information about the Olive Ridley Sea Turtle:
The Olive Ridley Sea Turtle - also called the Pacific Ridley Sea Turtle - is considered the most abundant sea turtle on the planet. These reptiles get their name from the coloring of their heart-shaped shell, which starts out gray but becomes olive green later in life. There may be more than one million in the world's oceans today. Compared to other sea turtle species adults are relatively small, weighing on average around 100 pounds (45 kg). Olive Ridleys can be seen at nesting sites on beaches all around the planet, generally in tropical and subtropical areas. When the females are getting ready to nest, its believed they use the wind and the tide to help them find the beach. Females will lay about a hundred eggs, and may nest 1-3 times a year. Olive Ridleys are mostly carnivorous, feeding on such creatures as jellyfish as well as small crustaceans such as crabs and shrimp. It is the only living species not considered to be endangered - although it is classified by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources as vulnerable.The poster is printed on matte, museum-quality paper with Giclée printing quality:
