Loggerhead turtles live and breed in distinct groups, of which some are in the Pacific Ocean and some are in the Atlantic. New evidence suggests that juvenile Pacific loggerheads that feed near the Baja peninsula hatch in Japanese waters 10, 000 kilometers away. Ninety-five percent of the DNA samples taken from the Baja turtles match those taken from turtles at the Japanese nesting sites.
The statement 'Ninety-five percent of the DNA samples taken from the Baja turtles match those taken from Atlantic loggerhead turtles' most seriously weakens the reasoning above.
