![]() ![]() Some of these areas can support 1-2 other fishermen fishing from the same set of node spawns (Frozen Sea, Howling Fjord), whereas others can be ruined by having one other person around (Crystalsong).ģ) Don't expect to make a *ton* of money doing this. I caught *three* of these while fishing for this mount.Ģ) Make sure you're more or less alone. I hear other fishermen have good success in Sholazar Basin as well (Nettlefish schools).ġa) If you're trying to get the "One That Didn't Get Away" achievement, fish in Howling Fjord for a good shot at a Dark Herring. Recommendations include Crystalsong Forest (Glassfin Minnow schools), The Frozen Sea south of Borean Tundra (Deep Sea Monsterbelly and Moonglow Cuttlefish schools), and the lakes in Howling Fjord (Fangtooth Herring and the occasional Glacial Salmon schools). =] Too funny!

I had to go pull out the book and find the part about that. I remembered the story as it was so amusing to me when I read it years ago, and when I saw the name of the achievement and what it was for, it seemed it could be no coincidence and there must be an astronomy or cosmology buff at Blizz who liked the story also. Quoted from "A Brief History of Time", by Stephen Hawking. The scientist then asked "What's the tortoise standing on?" and the woman replied "You're very clever, young man, very clever! But it's turtles all the way down!". The world is really a flat plate supported on the back of a giant tortoise". When he described how the earth is a sphere and orbits around the sun and the sun around the center of the galaxy, a little old woman stood up and said "What you have told us is rubbish. Scientists continue to monitor nesting locations and work to protect the turtles, though the reason for the decrease remains unclear.Comment by HeimdallenThe name of the achievement for this ( Turtles all the way down) is, most surely, a reference to the lecture once given by a well known scientist, some say it was Bertrand Russel, on astronomy. After more than a decade of steadily increasing nests, however, the Kemp’s ridley population decreased again in 2010 and has fluctuated at lower levels since. The first of the Kemp’s ridleys returned in 1996, and the number of nests eventually increased from six that year to more than 200 in 2009. By subsequently releasing the hatchlings at Padre Island, conservationists believed that the turtles would treat the location as if it had been their native beach and later return there to nest in the future - although the theory was untested at the time.įortunately, the plan worked, though the process was complex, and the turtles took many years to return. camera icon National Park Serviceīetween 1978 to 1988, staff relocated 22,507 turtle eggs from Mexico to Texas, where they were incubated until the babies hatched. Staff at Padre Island National Seashore attach transmitters to some Kemp’s ridley turtles, such as this one, to track their movements after nesting season. national park site that is part of the turtle’s historic range - Padre Island National Seashore in Texas. conservationists began working together to help preserve the species by establishing a nesting beach at a U.S. In the 1970s, as the outlook grew increasingly dire, Mexican and U.S. ![]() The Mexican government began taking steps to protect the turtles from poaching at Rancho Nuevo in 1966. Scientists have been concerned about declining Kemp’s ridley populations since the 1960s, when film footage showed people stealing turtles and eggs from their nesting grounds.

The species is also the only sea turtle that nests during the day in large group events called arribadas, which means “arrivals” in Spanish. ![]() Kemp’s ridley turtles are not just the rarest, but also the smallest sea turtle species in the world, measuring only about two feet in diameter and weighing in at about 70 to 100 pounds each. Kemp’s ridley sea turtle hatchlings at Padre Island National Seashore in Texas, the national park site best known as a regular nesting ground for the endangered species. ![]()
