Saving the Kemp's Ridley Sea Turtles of Texas

The Kemp's Ridley Sea Turtle is making a comeback from the brink of extinction. Get a close-up look at turtle nesting and watch as the hatchlings crawl into the surf. For more information, visit the Padre Island National Seashore website www.nps.gov/pais/index.htm

This is amazing! I just volunteer at a turtle hospital one day a week and I am absolutely exhausted after. It takes a lot of work and I deeply appreciate all you guys do!

Saving Kemp's Ridley Sea Turtles is my first love, after my husband. They are so cute and the most endangered sea turtle in the world.

[@judithscherff6491]

This is some of the most important work in the world!!

[@capkarr]

Thank you for helping these beautiful Turtles...

[@temple7dialectic477]

This is my wife's favorite animal. I have got to find a way to help her work with these little guys.

[@cassiopiaallen2105]

Best comment in the world.

[@Lindseysbeautyhelp]

Keep up the good work

[@rescue270]

These efforts are really working. Kemp's Ridleys are now very common in the bays, channels, and surf around Port Aransas, TX.

Kemp's Ridley sea turtles are cute and deserve to be safe and loved. Go Junior Rangers!

[@susanmcdonald6879]

great efforts, thank you. I also remember camping long visits on padre, for weeks, lots of jelly fish, sand crabs at night, now all gone mostly... sometimes i think the human species is just so dumb,... thank you texas parks & wildlife...

Nice video! I love observing earth, discover and decompress...

[@shellyhottinger6015]

I think this is so cool I know personally the grandson of Andrea Herrera and to hear him tell the story of how his Grandfather just happened to have a video camera and wasn't expect all this to happen and just filmed it. To hear the story is truly amazing. I was given a little sea turtle that Andrea grandson gave to me and I hold it very dear and close to my heart given by the zoo I believe in texas that they honor the Herrera family in Andrea's honor of capturing this amazing video.

I am learning about the story in the book “story town” in school we are reading this story

[@glowy1105]

Lol same

[@botanicaltreasures2408]

Very interesting video. 🐢 I wonder what the current number of Kemp’s Ridley Turtles is. I first saw some at Atlantis on Paradise Island, Bahamas.

[@bombarderoazul]

thank you for protecting these rare animals, the rarest sea turtle in the world.

[@SHBueche]

This video is excellent, thank you the the Texas Parks & Wildlife Dept., Dr. Shaver, Ridley and the biologists working with the team for their extraordinary efforts on our behalf!

[@DrAlvinEng]

Great work! very happy to see a positive effect so far!

He saw the video taken in 1947 and that started his journey and struggle, doing the legwork, to get the mexican and US governments involved. They didn't get involved until 10 years later when they saw it was working. "Thanks for getting it started. We'll take it from here."

[@jerles93]

I love how Texas Parks n Wildlife takes all the credit for saving this majestic animal. There is no mention of my grandfather's brother and sister in law, Dearl and Ethel Adams. He began bringing eggs from Rancho Nuevo in 1966 and took them to S. Padre Island to be hatched and released there.

[@Djeansoult]

Just saw one crossing the road in Boca Grande Florida. I stopped traffic. I hope she has a successful nesting. 🐢

[@lightplan]

[@gub8782]

i was forced to watch this video against my will .

[@mikw3]

lolll

[@snowman9555]

What about the natural predators who depend on a steady diet of turtle eggs and young? How will they survive when the rangers take their food away? What if a botanist took all the eucalyptus trees away to save them and the koala bears all died? Every time we change one thing in nature, something else suffers. It's happened time and time again by well meaning yet short sighted people who don't look at the big picture, like how they introduced cane toads to australia.

[@peterwilliams1363]

Doing good job.

[@91gt306]

And why does that matter? Who cares who gets what credit, seems like a pretty petty thing to complain about.

[@missbee7745]

Yes, This is Wonderful. 😍 Although, It's Just Terrible about Israel's Recent Major Oil Spill, Which Had To Kill So Many of Them. 😢

[@RatanKumar-rb4en]

Good
