Perhaps this was a concerned Leatherback who witnessed a turtle in distress, possibly saw a turtle with a preditor . I do not think anything these scientists did proved anything, except that attaching large devices to marine animals is life threatening to the poor animal. Perhaps the "female" is unable to dive as deep as is required to survive with such a device on her back. Perhaps, these guys should try it.. The pool first , then the ocean. It's not nice to fool with mother nature.
