A rescued Kemp's ridley turtle is readied for release on the beach Monday, April 26, 2010 on the Bolivar Peninsula, Texas. More than 30 dead turtles have been found stranded on Galveston and the Bolivar Peninsula south of Houston this month — an unusually high number that has puzzled researchers, in part because most are so decomposed that there are few clues left about why they died.
