Is a box turtle a predator?

Box turtles are not typically classified as predators in the traditional sense, as they primarily have a herbivorous diet that consists of plants, fruits, and vegetables. However, they are omnivorous and will eat small animals, insects, and invertebrates when the opportunity arises. Their opportunistic feeding behavior allows them to act as both predator and scavenger within their ecosystem. Overall, while they may consume animal matter, they are more commonly known for their plant-based diet.
