Yes, leatherback sea turtles are considered carnivores. Their primary diet consists mainly of jellyfish, but they may also consume other soft-bodied marine organisms. Unlike many other turtle species, leatherbacks do not have a hard beak; instead, their mouths are adapted to grasp and swallow their prey more easily.
