They're not 'afraid' - as they lack the intelligence to know when they're in danger. Leatherbacks eat jellyfish as part of their natural diet.
Since there were no conservation programs around at the time, documentation of how many leatherback turtles were around during the 1900s is non-existent.
then the prey will run out of food. Soon those animals might become endangered and that will cause a ripple in the ocean.
The exact number of leatherback sea turtles is difficult to determine due to their vast migratory patterns and the challenges of conducting comprehensive surveys. However, it is estimated that there are between 20,000 and 30,000 adult leatherbacks remaining worldwide. This number has been declining due to threats like habitat loss, climate change, and bycatch in fishing gear. Conservation efforts are ongoing to protect these endangered species.
