Talk:Olive ridley sea turtle

Previous discussion without headers
the olive ridley sea turtle is an endangered species so if you kill one it is illegal and you can go to jail. It has a interesting shaped shell because it's almost like a mountain. It goes up. It is a omnivorous animal eating shrimp, rock, fish, and sometimes it has been seen to eat jelly fish. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.109.0.208 (talk) 14:40, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

Olive Ridley in Costa Rica
No mention of the olive ridley in Costa Rica!? They land on the Pacific at Otsional Beach, a protected beach and sea area, of the Nicoya Peninsula. I'm told that they arrive there in huge numbers, hundreds of thousands of turtles in one 'arrival' which lasts about a week. The article says they nest in groups of up to 300?! That sounds low.... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.109.128.101 (talk) 13:44, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Does size matter
I'm no expert on these things but... a related article states that "Kemp's ridley is the smallest species of sea turtle." This article states that "the olive ridley is the smallest extant sea turtle." I shall post this in the other place as well, because I'm now intrigued to know which is the smaller and I'm sure you Lepidochelysophiles can sort it out!

 * It's not difficult to find sources saying either. I'm not sure the answer. Regards, SunCreator (talk) 13:41, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

"(n=17)" etc
"adult females weighed an average of 35.45 kg (n=58)", etc. The (n=17) etc is mysterious to the educated layman. What does it mean?--Wetman (talk) 18:59, 18 September 2012 (UTC)


 * The expression "n=x" indicates that "x" is the sample size. A capital "N" is used when referring to the population size, ie the full group that the sample is drawn from. In this case they are saying that 58 adult female turtles were studied to determine the average. 69.143.47.22 (talk) 02:02, 25 August 2017 (UTC)

 * Ni idea. Where did you see that? Carr is Archie Carr, will have to work out which book it refers to. Regards, Sun Creator(talk) 02:56, 20 September 2012 (UTC)

Inconsistent approach to capitalization of proper nouns
"Ridley" is a proper noun and should be capitalized. ENSOsurfer (talk) 08:59, 19 June 2023 (UTC)
