In the sea, the most common predators of adult sea turtles are sharks (i.e., Carcharhinus leucas, Carcharodon carcharias, Galeocerdo cuvier) (Witzell 1987, Cliff & Dudley 1991, Fergusson et al. 2000) and killer whales (Orcinus orca) (Fertl & Fulling 2007); while on their nesting beaches, fem...

| Summary: | In the sea, the most common predators of adult sea turtles are sharks (i.e., Carcharhinus leucas, Carcharodon carcharias, Galeocerdo cuvier) (Witzell 1987, Cliff & Dudley 1991, Fergusson et al. 2000) and killer whales (Orcinus orca) (Fertl & Fulling 2007); while on their nesting beaches, female turtles are susceptible to predators like jaguars (Panthera onca) and crocodiles (Crocodylus acutus) (Ortiz et al. 1997, Heithaus et al. 2008). En el mar, los depredadores más comunes de las tortugas marinas adultas son los tiburones (es decir, Carcharhinus leucas, Carcharodon carcharias, Galeocerdo cuvier) (Witzell 1987, Cliff & Dudley 1991, Fergusson et al. 2000) y las orcas (Orcinus orca) (Fertl & Fulling 2007); mientras que en sus playas de anidación, las tortugas hembras son susceptibles a los depredadores como los jaguares (Panthera onca) y los cocodrilos (Crocodylus acutus) (Ortiz et al. 1997, Heithaus et al. 2008). |
