These olive ridley #turtles are coming ashore together to lay their eggs! 🏖️ In what's called an "arribada," huge numbers of female olive ridley sea turtles come together to nest on the beach. They then return to their mostly solitary lives in the ocean! 🌊 #SeaTurtleWeek

🐢 Most sea turtles travel far and wide, but flatbacks prefer to stay close to home! These reptiles have the smallest range of all sea turtles, living only in the coastal waters of Australia and Papua New Guinea. 🌏 Learn more: oceana.ly/3WV0JXn #FlatbackDay #SeaTurtleWeek

The ocean is full of beautiful fish ... and well, the stargazer isn't quite one of them. 😅 Instead, these sneaky seafloor snoopers prove wild and wacky are just as wonderful traits beneath the ocean waves. 🤩 Learn all about stargazers! 👇 ow.ly/uWj550S4faa
