Olive Ridley Sea Turtles (Lepidochelys olivacea), also known as Pacific Ridleys, are best known for their behavior of synchronized nesting in mass numbers, termed as "arribadas".

Olive Ridleys generally begin to aggregate near nesting beaches approximately two months before nesting season, although this may vary throughout its range.

Females can lay up to three clutches per season, but most will only lay one or two clutches. The female will remain near shore for the inter-nesting period, which is approximately one month.

Mean clutch size varies throughout its range and decreases with each nesting attempt.

A mean clutch size of 116 (30-168 eggs) has been observedin the South American region while nesting females from the eastern Pacific were found to have an average of 105 (74-126 eggs).

The incubation period is usually between 45--51 days under natural conditions, but may extend to 70 days in poor weather conditions. Eggs incubated at temperatures of 31-32 degrees Celsius will produce only females but if the eggs are incubated at a temperature of 28 degrees or less, it will produce solely males. Incubation temperatures of 29-30 degrees will produce a mixed sex clutch.

Hatching success can vary by beach and year, due to changing environmental conditions and rates of nest predation. Source: Wikipedia
