Leatherback sea turtles primarily hunt for jellyfish, which they locate using their keen vision while swimming in open waters. They employ a unique feeding strategy by using their large mouths to gulp jellyfish whole, often diving to significant depths where these prey are abundant. Their leathery skin and flexible throat allow them to consume large quantities of soft-bodied prey efficiently. Additionally, leatherbacks can dive deep and remain submerged for long periods, increasing their chances of finding food.

People hunt leatherback turtles primarily for their meat, which is considered a delicacy in some cultures, and for their eggs, which are also consumed. Additionally, their shells and skin can be used for various products. However, hunting is largely driven by illegal poaching due to the turtles' vulnerable status and declining populations, exacerbated by habitat loss and climate change. Conservation efforts are in place to protect these endangered creatures and their habitats.
