GREETING CARD:
“Kemp's ridley sea turtle ((Lepidochelys kempii)” is and Endangered Reptile and part of the Threatened Texas series and is an original artwork by me, Juliet Whitsett. To create this image I sampled colors from images of threatened species and created original art inspired by the unique limited palette.
SPECIES INFORMATION PROVIDED BY: Donna Shaver, PhD, Sea Turtle Research and Conservation Biologist
"Kemp’s ridley is the smallest and most critically endangered sea turtle species in the world and the state sea turtle of Texas. Since the 1970s, biologists from the U.S. and Mexico have worked to recover this species decimated by human activities. While Kemp’s ridleys nest mostly in Tamaulipas, Mexico, recovery efforts are forming a secondary nesting colony at Padre Island National Seashore to guard against extinction. Adult females have fidelity to their Gulf of Mexico migratory corridors, foraging areas, and nesting beaches, where they return every 1- 4 years to lay 1- 4 clutches of 100 eggs (primarily during the day!). To ensure species survival, bi-national recovery efforts must continue."
