Mass Nesting Brings Swarms of Turtles to Mexican Beach
BBC News reports on a remarkable natural phenomenon occurring on La Escobilla beach in Oaxaca, Mexico. Thousands of olive ridley turtles descend upon the shore in a mass nesting event known as "la arribada," or "the arrival." This occurs every nesting season, which started in March, with six waves recorded so far.
