Adult sea turtles face threats from various predators, but one of the most significant is the large shark species, such as Great White Sharks and tiger sharks. These sharks have the strength and size to inflict serious injury on adult turtles. Additionally, orcas, or killer whales, have been known to prey on sea turtles in certain regions. However, while adult turtles have few natural predators due to their size and tough shells, these apex predators can still pose a significant risk.
