Olive Ridley Sea Turtle digging nest on Odisha beach under the Night Sky

This rare nighttime footage captures an endangered Olive Ridley Sea Turtle nesting along the coastline of Odisha, one of the world’s most important mass nesting regions for the species. Under the cover of darkness, the sea turtle slowly moves across the sandy beach before carefully using its powerful hind flippers to dig a deep nesting chamber in the sand. The laborious digging process is part of the turtle’s vital reproductive behaviour, allowing it to safely deposit and protect its clutch of eggs from predators and tidal disturbances. Odisha’s coastline hosts the famous arribada phenomenon, where thousands of Olive Ridley turtles come ashore simultaneously for mass nesting. This intimate close-up view highlights the remarkable endurance, survival instincts, and delicate nesting process of one of the world’s most threatened marine reptiles. The footage also underscores the importance of coastal conservation and protecting fragile marine ecosystems essential for sea turtle survival. #oliveridley #seaturtle #lepidochelysolivacea #odisha #turtlenesting #marinewildlife #wildlifeindia #conservation #beachwildlife #naturevideo This footage is part of the broadcast stock footage archive of Wilderness Films India Ltd., the largest HD and 4K collection from South Asia.
