1. RARE EVENT: Olive ridley sea turtle nest discovered on Florida beach
Wildlife researchers discovered an extremely rare olive ridley sea turtle nest at Jupiter Beach Park — the first documented olive ridley nest ever recorded in Florida.
Palm Beach County is already known for large numbers of loggerhead, green and leatherback turtle nests, but olive ridleys have not previously been recorded nesting as far north as Florida.
Scientists are not certain why an olive ridley nested in Florida, but possible explanations include changing ocean conditions, shifts in sea turtle populations or unusual migration patterns.
Olive ridley sea turtles are among the smallest species of sea turtles and are named for the olive-green color of their heart-shaped shells. – Hana Khalyleh and Timothy O’Hara/USA TODAY Network-Florida
