It you were talking about the Ridley sea turtle: Adult Ridley sea turtles grow to a length of 20-28 inches (51-71 cm). They have a weight of 80-110 pounds (36-50 kg). They feed on crabs, fish, cephalopods, clams, and some marine vegetation. If you were asking about Olive Ridley turtles: These lightly-built turtles have an average weight just over 100 lb (up to 50 kg.). They have a high-domed shell, with a carapace length of only 30 inches (70 cm)[1]. The carapace is made up of five pairs of coastal scutes, with occurrences of up to 6 to 9 divisions per side. The margins are smooth. The carapace is a dark olive green in color with a yellowish underside. The head is large. If you were asking about Kemps Ridley: Kemp's Ridley is the smallest living sea turtle species, reaching maturity at less than a meter long and averaging only 45 kilograms (100 lb). It is typical of a sea turtle, having a dorso-ventrally depressed body with specially-adapted flipper-like front limbs. Like other sea turtles, it possesses a horny beak. It is also the rarest sea turtle.
