All types of sharks, specificlly Great White Sharks, eat loggerhead sea turtles. Tiger Sharks are also a predator of the loggerhead sea turtle. When loggerheads go above the surface of the water to get a breath of air, they take a long two minutes to replenish their oxygen supply. During this time, a shark(usually a tiger shark) will take advantage of the turtle and eat it then and there.

While they are still eggs raccons and other mammals dig up the eggs and eat them. Sand crabs do the same thing. When they first hatch and are heading toward the sea sea birds will swoop and eat them. When they are actually matured and in the sea sharks are a main predator, but do not eat the whole turtle usually. Just part.

The leatherback turtle does not have competition for its food. This turtle mainly eats jellyfish and the venom from the jellyfish helps the turtle against predators.
