Leatherback turtles primarily feed on jellyfish, but they tend to prefer certain species, such as those in the Aurelia and Chrysaora families. While they can consume a variety of jellyfish, their diet is influenced by availability and the turtles' ability to digest different types. Some jellyfish may be less nutritious or difficult for leatherbacks to eat, so their diet is not exclusively composed of all jellyfish types.

A male leatherback turtle is a member of the leatherback species, known for its large size and distinctive leathery shell, which lacks the hard, bony carapace found in other turtle species. These turtles can weigh between 550 and 2,000 pounds and are the largest of all sea turtles. Unlike females, male leatherbacks do not return to land after hatching; they spend their entire lives in the ocean, primarily feeding on jellyfish. Males play a critical role in the species' reproductive cycle, mating with females during breeding seasons.
