The greatest danger of predation for leatherback sea turtles occurs when they have just hatched. They are very small, obviously, and must reach the water from the sand. During this time they are easily carried away as dinner by birds, crustaceans, other reptiles and, unfortunately, people, who should know better before making a meal of animal high so highly placed on the endangered species list. Very few leatherback sea turtles survive to adulthood.

The biggest predator for the turtle is humans.
