The smallest member of the sea turtle family, this reptile is also considered the most endangered. Adults grow to a length of 20-28 inches (51-71 cm) and weigh 80-110 pounds (36-50 kg). Atlantic ridley sea turtles have a distinctive round to heart-shaped shell that ranges in color from gray-brown to olive to black. The underside is yellowish on adults and white on juveniles. Prey items include crabs, fish, jellyfish, squid, snails, clams, starfish and some marine vegetation.
