Sea turtles eat jelly fish and not much else because they can't catch anything else. They are one of the very few things that can eat certain jellyfish too as some jellyfish are extremely poisonous. ** On the contrary- sea turtles eat fish and plants also. There are few or no animal that eat only one type of prey. Only if they live in an area with limited food sources such as the polar bear. Polar bears mainly prey on seals because there is no other prey for them to eat.

Why did God create dangerous animals?

He didn't. Evolution did. A dangerous animal is only dangerous
to its prey - and all animals have prey of some type, so in effect,
all animals are dangerous. An animal that has no prey (e.g. Food)
soon dies out. A rabbit is a pretty scary beast to a carrot. We're
all in the chain, my friend. Man is perhaps the most dangerous
animal of all since he's figured out so many ways to destroy other
living things.

Asked in Monkeys
Do only jaguars and humans eat monkeys or do other animals eat monkeys?

There are over 160 species of monkeys spread across many regions
of the world, so their predators (the animals that hunt them) vary
from region to region as well as the specific species of the monkey
(size plays a factor in this). Medium sized monkeys are prey of
humans and carnivorous birds (though only some human societies
consider the consumption of monkeys acceptable, but yes, some
humans do eat monkeys.) Small marmoset-type monkeys are prey to
small cats, birds of prey, and snakes. Larger langur and colobus
monkeys are threatened by larger cats such as leopards (and
others), humans, and select birds of prey. However, the biggest
threat to all monkeys is deforestation.
