How would you describe the threat of the leatherback turtle?
Leatherback turtles are generally not hunted for food, because they have too high of a fat content in their meat. However, they are sometimes caught in fishing nets (what is why it is best to by line-caught fish). They are also threatened by pollution. They sometimes consume trash in the ocean, thinking that it is food. This can lead to malabsorption due to an intestinal blockage, and eventually the animal starves. Chemical pollutants also affect them (Phthalates, chemicals added to plastics, are found in high levels in leatherback turtle eggs).
