Love it! Without sea turtles, especially leatherbacks, jellies would be invading all oceans.

A lot of people are unaware that sea turtles are in fact the primary source nature has provided for keeping the jellyfish population in check.

Β I've never ever actually seen a sea turtle eat a jellyfish, though I've know for a long time that they do (so don't leave plastic bags in the ocean, otherwise they'll choke on that, mistaking it for a jellyfish!).
Β I wonder how much of it he/she can eat it before getting full?

Wow.
As a marine biology enthusiast(and major) I know that most sea turtles are huge( except for the tiny Kemp's Ridley). This one looks like a green sea turtle, one of the largest hard-shelled sea turtles, around six feet long.
That jellyfish is around the same size, so it could put some serious hurtin' on a human. And it is currently being eaten.
Sea Turtles FTW!

OM NOM NOM
You know, for a while, scientists thought sea turtles were vegetarians (I think, correct me if I'm wrong). And then they got video of one eating a jellyfish.
Many bricks were shat.
