50 The Leatherback Turtle Festival [es], this year in its ninth edition, raises awareness among the general public about this sea turtle, which returns to the beaches of Puerto Rico every year to lay its eggs.0 Ny Fetben'ny Soka-dranomasina “luth” [es], atao amin'ity taona ity ny andiany fahasivy aminy, dia manaitra ny sain'ny daholobe ny momba ity soka-dranomasina ity, izay miverina manatody eny amoron-dranomasin'i Porto Rico isan-taona.
6According to the blog CoquíPR [es]:Araka ny bilaogin'i CoquíPR [es]:
7In Puerto Rico, nesting areas have decreased in number due to the development of beaches and coastal areas.Ao Porto Rico, miha mihena ny isan'ny toerana fanatodizana noho ny fandrosoan'ny toerana amoron-dranomasina sy ny morontsiraka.
8This loss of habitat is mainly due to construction of residential, tourist, and industrial projects in addition to the expansion of urban zones in coastal areas.Ny teikasa fanamboarana trano fonenana, toerana ho an'ny mpizahatany ary indostrialy no tena mahatonga indrindra io fihenan'ny toeram-ponenany io, eo koa ny fihitaran'ny tanàn-dehibe mankany amin'ny morontsiraka.
9Nonetheless, the reflection of lights in developed areas (such as direct lighting from beaches) produces disorientation for both adult turtles and the hatchlings.Na dia izany aza, ny taratry ny jiro any amin'ny toerana mandroso ( ohatra : ny jiro mitodika mivantana any amoron-dranomasina) dia mahavery làlana ny sokatra na ny lehibe na ny vao teraka.
10Instead of returning to the sea when they leave the nest, many newborn turtles become disoriented because of the lights and go in the opposite direction, where they are eaten by predators, killed by cars, or die due to exposure to the sun.Raha tokony hiverina any andranomasina izy ireo, maro amin'ireo vao teraka no very làlana noho ny hazavan'ireny jiro ireny ka mandeha any amin'ny làlana mifanohitra amin'ny tokony ho alehany, ary lanin'ny biby hafa any izy ireny, na voahitsaky ny fiara, na maty noho ny taratry ny hainandro.
11The adversities that newborn turtles may face in their journeys to the sea can also be added to this.Manampy trotraka izany koa ny loza maro hafa izay atrehan'ny sokatra vao teraka mandritra ny diany ho any anaty ranomasina.
12They can be hurt by pets (like dogs) or preyed upon by seabirds or crabs.Mety ho voaratran'ny biby hafa izy ireo ( ohatra : ny alika) na samborin'ny voron-dranomasina na drakaka.
13Nest vandalism, egg poaching, and killing of female turtles when they come out to nest are serious problems affecting the species.Ny fanapotehana ny toerana fanatodizany, ny fangalarana atody , ary ny famonoana ny sokatra vavy rehefa miala ny toerana fanatodizany izy dia olana lehibe mianjady amin'ireny karazam-biby ireny.
14Leatherbacks are especially susceptible to ingesting plastic materials at sea when they confuse them with jellyfish.Mora voasarika hihinana zavatra vita avy amin'ny plastika eny andranomasina ny sokatra “luth” rehefa afangarony amin'ny bibin-dranomasina “méduses” ireny.
15To celebrate the Leatherback Turtle Festival and to help spread information about it, here are five interesting facts about this reptile:Mba hankalazana ny Fetinben'ny Sokatra “luth” ary hanampiana amin'ny fanaparitahana ny mombamomba azy, ireto misy zavatra dimy mahavariana momba ity biby ity:
161. The leatherback is the largest species of sea turtle in the world.1. Ny sokatra “luth” no soka-dranomasina lehibe indrindra eran-tany.
17Digital magazine Mi Puerto Rico Verde [es] has more information on the physical characteristics of this turtle:Ny boky nomerika Mi Puerto Rico Verde [es] dia manana loharanom-baovao maro momba ny endrika mampiavaka io sokatra io :
18The largest documented leatherback weighed 916 kilograms, equivalent to just over 2,000 pounds. […] The leatherback has dark tones with small, round spots that are pink and white.Ny sokatra “luth” lehibe indrindra voarakitra dia milanja 916 kilao, izany oe mihoatra kely ny 2,000 lb. […] Matroka ny lokon'ny sokatra “luth” ary misy tasy boriborikely miloko mavokely sy fotsy.
19It is easily distinguishable by its seven streaks shaped like a mountain range running along its shell and by its peculiar, large front flippers.Mora fantatra be izy amin'ireo tsipika mivoitra miisa fito toy ny tendrombohitra mitandahatra eo amin'ny lamosiny, ary ireo tanàna fivoiny, lehibe anoloana izay mampiavaka azy.
20Females also have a characteristic pink spot at the top of their heads.Misy tasy mavokely eo an-tampon'ny lohany mampiavaka azy koa ireo vavy.
212. The leatherback is the only species of sea turtle that does not have a hard shell.2. Ny sokatra “luth” no hany karazana soka-dranomasina tsy manana lamosina mafy.
22According to Amigos de las Tortugas Marinas [es], a community effort dedicated to contributing to protecting leatherbacks:Araka ny Amigos de las Tortugas Marinas [es], misy ezaka iombonana atao amin'ny fiarovana ny sokatra “luth” :
23Unlike other species of turtles [the leatherback] does not have a hard shell, but rather a leather cover that has seven longitudinal ridges which to the touch feel have a gummy or rubbery texture.Mifanohitra amin'ny karazana sokatra hafa, [ny sokatra “luth”] tsy mba manana fonosana mafy, fa kosa fonosana hoditra izay misy tsipika mivoitra amin'ny halavàny miisa fito izay mitovy amin'ny fingotra tsy dia malama loatra rehefa tsapaina.
24This shell form, softer than that of other species, is an adaptation to withstand the high pressures when diving into considerable depths than can exceed 3,000 feet, deeper than any other species of turtle.Io endriky ny fonosany io, izay malefaka kokoa noho ny an'ny karazany hafa, dia natao hiatrehany ny tsindry mafy rehefa milomano midina any amin'ny lalina be izy izay mety mihoatra ny 3000 ft, lalina noho ny an'ny karazana sokatra hafa .
253. The moon and stars are points of reference for leatherbacks.3. Ny volana sy ny kintana no fitarikandron'ny sokatra “luth”.
26Light pollution is a very serious problem for the leatherback when it returns to nest.Olana lehibe ho an'ny sokatra “luth” ny fikorontanan'ny hazavana rehefa miverina any amin'ny toerana fanatodizany izy.
27Digital environmental magazine Corriente Verde [es] explains why:Mitondra fanazavana ny antony ny boky niomerika momba ny tontolo iainana Corriente Verde [es] :
28Newborn turtles use the reflection of the moon's brightness as a point of reference to know where to go to get to the ocean.Mampiasa ny taratra hazavan'ny volana ireo sokatra vao teraka mba entiny hijerena hoe aiza ny làlany andehanany hihazo ny ranomasim-be.
29That is one of the reasons why buildings and other structure should not be built close to the sea, since the lights or spotlights from buildings can confuse or mislead both newborn and adult leatherbacks, making them think that the sea is in the direction of the light bulbs.Izany no antony iray tsy tokony hanorenana trano lehibe na fanorenana hafa manakaiky ny ranomasina, satria mampikorontana na mitondra ny sokatra “luth” na ny lehibe na ny vao teraka ho amin'ny làlan-diso ny hazavana na ny jiro mazava be avy amin'ny trano avo, mahatonga azy ireo hieritreritra fa any amin'ny hazavan'iny takamoa iny ny làlana mankany an-dranomasina.
304. The female of the species makes the longest migration of any species of sea turtle.4. Ny sokatra vavy amin'io karazany io no mifindra toerana lavitra indrindra miohatra amin'ireo karazana soka-dranomasina hafa.
31Amigos de las Tortugas Marinas reveal a bit more about the extraordinary lengths that female leatherbacks are capable of traveling:Aboraky ny fikambanana Amigos de las Tortugas Marinas misimisy kokoa ny halavirana mampitolagaga vitan'ny sokatra ” luth ” vavy rehefa mandeha lavitra :
32Female leatherbacks make the longest migration of all of the species of sea turtles.Ireo sokatra vavy no manao fifindran-toerana lavitra indrindra amin'ny karazana soka-dranomasina rehetra.
33Among their feeding areas and beaches for nesting, they can make trips of up to more than 3,000 miles or 6,000 km.Amin'ireo toerana fihinanan-kaniny sy ireo moron-dranomasina fanatodizany, afaka mandeha lavitra mety hihoatra ny 3.000 miles na 6.000 km izy ireo.
34Leatherbacks are oceanic turtles that live the majority of the time far away from the coast with the exception of their nesting season during which they return to the beaches of the tropics.Sokatran'ny ranomasim-be ny sokatra “luth” izay miaina lavitry ny morontsiraka amin'ny ankapobeny afa-tsy rehefa amin'ny fotoana fanatodizany izay hiverenany eny amoron-dranomasina tropika.
35After mating at sea, females return to the warm, sandy beaches of the tropics to build their nests and lay between 75 and 100 eggs.Rehefa avy miray any an-dranomasina izy, miverina eny amin'ny fasika mafana eny amoron-dranomasin'ny tropika ny vavy mba hanamboatra ny toerana fanatodizany ary mametraka atody manodidina ny 75 na 100 isa eo.
365. The sex of the leatherback is determined by the temperature of the sand.5. Ny hafanan'ny fasika no mametra na ho lahy na ho vavy ilay sokatra “luth” .
37Once again, Amigos de las Tortugas Marinas provide more details:Mbola ny fikambanana Amigos de las Tortugas Marinas ihany no manazava bebe kokoa izany :
38The temperature of the nest determines the sex of the baby turtles, higher temperatures result in females and slightly lower ones result in males.Ny hafanan'ny toerana fanatodizana no mametra ny filahiana na fivavian'ireo sokatra kely, ny mafana kokoa dia mahavavy azy ary ny mangatsiaka kokoa mahalahy azy.
39Therefore, we can think that the eggs at the end that will be hotter because solar radiation onto the sand will result in females and those that are deeper will result in males, but it is not always like this, as there are other factors such as rainfall and waves that can affect the temperature of the nest.Noho izany, afaka eritreretina hoe ireo atody amin'ny farany izay mafana kokoa noho ny taratry ny masoandro eo amin'ny fasika dia ho lasa vavy ary ireo any amin'ny lalina ho lasa lahy, fa tsy tahàka izany foana anefa ilay izy, satria misy mpitondra fanovàna hafa koa toy ny orana mifafy sy ny onja maro izay mety hampiova ny hafanan'ny toerana fanatodizana. Manodidina ny 29.
40The average nest temperature is about 29. 5°C or 85°F.5°C na 85°F eo ho eo ny hafanan'ny toerana fanatodizana.
