Slow food?

After reading this comic, I couldn't help but wonder how difficult it is for any animal to eat a turtle, seeing they can withdraw into thick shells or in some cases defend themselves.

I know tiger sharks have a relatively easy time chomping through sea turtles. Sea turtles are one of their favorite foods.

I forgot about the existence of soft-shelled turtles, who don't have that type of protection. :ohwell:

I'm not sure which category sea turtles fall into though.

I also know in Africa that birds of prey will pick up small/juvenille tortoises and drop them from a great height to crack them open, making it easier to consume them.
