These predators are able to take advantage of the turtle's slow speed on land and in water, making them vulnerable to attack.
Some predators, such as snakes and birds, may swallow the turtle whole, while others, such as raccoons and otters, may crush the turtle's shell before eating it.
Regardless of the predator, a turtle's defense mechanisms are limited, and they rely on their hard shells for protection.
