Turtles recuperating at SPCA may be Olive Ridleys

Mumbai, July 7 In just a span of three days, the Bombay Society for Prevention of Cruelty against Animals (BSPCA) has rescued two full-grown turtles, which the Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI) officials say could be the endangered Olive Ridley turtles. Last week, the CMFRI officials visited BSPCA and observed that the large turtles with dark heart-shaped shells looked like Olive Ridleys. They have now taken photographs of the amphibians to conduct further research.
