 Olive Ridley sea turtles (Lepidochelys olivacea) return to the Costa Rican beaches where they hatched every year by the thousands. Driven by atavistic evolutionary traits, females makes this epic effort as they have done for millions of years in order to pass on their genes to a new generation. Emerging at the edge of light, the female turtles struggle to near exhaustion while laying the eggs. Two months later, hatchlings emerge and though as few as 1% may survive, a new generation is born, and the cycle continues.
