How do wild turtles capture their prey?

Answer 1

You wouldn't believe how many different species of turtles and tortoises there are in this world, some vegetarian, some omnivores, some are even strictly meat eaters. Since the question was asking about "turtles" the term will be used here in the sense that they are aquatic and/or box turtles we're talking about. And presuming that they catch prey, instead of "pray", different species go about it in different manners. The snapping, mud and musk turtles have an awesome way to do it: by sitting still and quietly in the mud for hours, sometimes with their mouths open. Softshells wait for fish in the mud as well, but can sometimes also smell out their prey while it is itself hidden in the muck. Other aquatic turtles will just chase down the fish that they think they can catch. Box turtles will spend their day foraging through grasses and dirt, eating grubs, earthworms, and whatever tasty protein filled bugs they can find.

Answer 2

snaps them with its beak. remember they may be cumbersome on land, but they are basically flying underwater.

Answer 3

it sneaks around the ocean and its tentacles feel for food in the water. it then squeezes the prey and eats it.

Answer 4

After the turtles hatch, they make their way into the sea. Once they get into the sea, they can swim perfectly fine, making them able to catch their prey.

Answer 5

Turtles don't eat or hunt other animals, but eat plants and bugs. Sea turtles will eat small fish and plankton.
