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.
