Turtles can be classified primarily as predators and prey, depending on their species and life stage. Many turtles, such as snapping turtles, are predators that feed on aquatic plants, small fish, and invertebrates. Conversely, they can also be prey for larger animals like alligators, Birds of Prey, and some mammals. While turtles do play a role in the ecosystem by contributing to decomposition through their diets, they are not typically classified as decomposers themselves.
