Kemp's Ridley Sea Turtles (Tortuga Lora) morning release by Sea Turtle Inc. at South Padre Island . These turtles are a grey-blackish color and turn white as they develop.Hatching season lasts through August. Very neat experience!
These turtles prefer shallow coastal regions, lagoons, and bays. According to Sea Turtle Inc. website their habitat of choice is based on entanglement with fishing nets, hooks, and debris.
