N2 - Photographic records of sea turtle neonates and embryos which show characteristics of both East Pacific Green Sea Turtles (Chelonia mydas) and Olive Ridley Sea Turtles (Lepidochelys olivacea) are presented. These turtles were produced from nests laid by Olive Ridley females in the states of Nayarit, Jalisco, and Baja California Sur. Their discovery further suggests the occurrence of hybridization between these two species, and potential implications for conservation are discussed.
