Loggerheads are carnivores, meaning they eat mostly other animals. The baby loggerheads feed on small animals living in the seaweed called sargassum, where they spend early years. Adult loggerheads eat mostly bottom dwelling invertebrates such as whelks, other mollusks, horseshoe crabs, and sea urchins.

Primarily carnivorous during most of their lives. Hatchlings often eat sponges, jellyfishes, sargassum weed, small gastropods and crustaceans. Juveniles, sub-adults and adults feed upon conch, clams, as well as other crustaceans. They have powerful jaws that enable them to easily crush the hard shells of their prey. During migration through the open sea, loggerheads eat jellyfishes, pteropods, floating mollusks, floating egg clusters, squids and flying fishes.

What are the ecological importance of loggerhead sea turtles?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Sea turtles, especially green sea turtles, are one of the few animals that eat sea grass. Sea grass needs to be constantly cut short to help it grow across the sea floor. Sea turtles act as grazing animals that cut the grass short and help maintain the health of the sea grass beds. Sea grass beds provide breeding and developmental grounds for numerous species of fish, shellfish and crustaceans. Without sea grass beds, many marine species humans harvest would be lost, as would the lower levels of the food chain. The reactions could result in many more marine species eventually becoming endangered or extinct.

On this massive head is an incredibly powerful jaw that aids the loggerhead in consuming any type of food it can gets its mouth on. This can include corals, sponges, crabs, jellies, fish, other sea turtles, sea urchins and even octopi. They are true omnivores. This jaw is the most powerful jaw of all the sea turtles. Out of all the turtles in the world it has the second most powerful jaw coming in behind the Alligator snapping turtle.
