Olive Ridley Sea 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). 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.
