Kemp's ridley sea turtle

The Gulf Ridley, also known as Kemp's ridley sea turtle, is the smallest and rarest sea turtle in the world. It mainly lives around the Gulf of Mexico but ventures into the Atlantic Ocean. Its survival is threatened by climate change, oil spills, and habitat destruction.

• It is the smallest species of sea turtle.
• It migrates into the Atlantic Ocean but faces cold-shocking risks.
• Human activities like oil spills severely threaten its population.
