When sea turtles are young they really have no defenses against prey. They're only chance of survival is to find a bed of floating algae to hide themselves in and feed on until they make it to other sea turtle populations. Sea turtles usually travel in fairly large groups keeping them safe and have quite an intimidatingly large size at adulthood.
