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.
