Animal-borne video from a sea turtle reveals novel anti-predator behaviors 1 for full interaction. gl Although our single observation should not be considered to redefine sea turtle anti-predator behavior, it raises a new hypothesis regarding sea turtle anti-predator behaviors and the evolutionary forces that shape them. However, studying the anti-predator behaviors of aquatic taxa such as sea turtles is currently limited by the difficulty of observing the natural behaviors of free-ranging individuals at sea (Heithaus et al. 2008).
