Salt and water regulation by the leatherback sea turtleDermochelys coriacea
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2002SUMMARYWe measured the salt and water balance of hatchling leatherback sea turtles, Dermochelys coriacea, during their first few days of life to investigate how they maintain homeostasis under the osmoregulatory challenge of a highly desiccating terrestrial environment and then a hyperosmotic marine environment.

Leatherback, Dermochelys coriacea, Nesting Along the Atlantic Coast of Africa
Chelonian Conservation and Biology, 2007ABSTRACT Leatherback nesting along the Atlantic coast of Africa extends from Mauritania in the north to Angola in the south, with a globally important nesting concentration located in Gabon in Central Africa. Provisional estimates of nesting numbers from Gabon indicate that this nesting population may be among the largest in the world.

Locomotion in hatchling leatherback turtles Dermochelys coriacea
Journal of Zoology, 1987Hatchling leatherback turtles can only swim forwards, and employ synchronized beating of the forelimbs whether swimming slowly or quickly. The hind limbs make no contribution to propulsion. Effectively, the hatchlings have two swimming speeds; subsurface and fast (30 cm s‐1) or surfaced and slow (8 cm s‐1).
