Oh yes, if they can catch them. Turtles are omnivores. \n\nSmall pond turtles might not be fast enough, though.

1. amphibians don't have AMNIOTE land egg. Reptiles do.Thus amphibians lay LOTS of eggs which have HIGH mortality rates from fungus, other organisms eating them; reptiles eggs are less vulnerable to mortality and so they lay fewer and have higher rate of hatching\n2. amphibians mate with external fertilization. Reptiles have internal fertilization and mate with HEMIPENES, not penis (true penis is in mammals!)\n3. slimy skin in amphibians, so they need water env, vs reptiles have heat-dessication resistant scales\n4. Most nitrogenous wastes of amphibians are ammonia\nreptiles have very concentrated uric acid\n5. amphibians and most reptiles have 3 chambered heart, but CROCODILIANS have a partial septum in their ventricle\n6. metamorphosis in amphibians, dev in egg in reptiles\n7. reptilian skull much more solid-heavy than amphibians.  There are more bones in reptiles (radio-ulna is ONE bone in frog, tibio-fibula is ONE bone in frog.  Reptiles have the same lower leg-arm bones as us humans and are NOT fused as in amphibians. Amphibians lack ribs, reptiles with ribs.\n8. ear HOLE and external ear on reptile head. Amphibians just have the tympanic membrane there,so they don't have much of an external ear.

I know this may seem weird to other people, but the most fun I have happens every spring/summer.  Ever since I was a little girl, I have loved to go to ponds, lakes, any body of water, even puddles and look at all the wildlife in the water.  One small drop of water conatains so many different lifeforms. I love to look at and catch (momentarily, but I release them) tadpoles, minnows, crawdads/crayfish, lizards, some snakes but my all time favorite is to find baby turtles.  Hatchling turtles the size of quarters, which I bring home until they are about 4 inches, then release them into the wild.  I know others will say that I am not allowing nature to do its job, but those babies bring me so much happiness, I provide a good start for them, and believe me I know all there is to know about turtles.  How lucky am I that each spring/summer is to me, like Christmas morning to a child.  Now that my son is almost 8, I am trying to teach him how much we can learn from and love all animals....xxxxturtlegirl

Unlike many frogs, coquís do not possess swimming membranes between their fingers and toes, and thus are not adapted to swim. However, like all tree frogs they possess small pads on the tips of their toes which help them adhere to moistened or slippery surfaces.

Fish, reptiles (various lizards for example, young crocs/gators), amphibians(frogs in peculiar), birds( any insectivorous bird large enough to eat it), and mammals (from feral cats to small mammals such as shrew if they can manage to capture them when they land, or dusk if bats are out early etc.) other insects( larger dragonflies, robber flies, assassin bugs etc) .

The Ichthyosaurus was a predator. It ate fish, shellfish and squid.

The leatherback turtle eats jellyfish. Sharks don't generally eat jellyfish unless it is about to starve. Sperm whales may perhaps eat a jellyfish. They mainly eat squid, but will probably eat one because sperm whales love fillet. They eat giant octopus too when they get a chance. Mostly invertebrates.\n\nOh, and larger jellyfish will eat smaller jellyfish. The Lion's Mane jellyfish will eat moon jellies, for instance.

hey i am not sure whether this is the right answer....but it was worth a try....\n\n \nRana pipiens, also known as the northern leopard frog, is a very important frog in the ecosystem. The northern leopard frog is a key animal in the food web. Frogs are more important to human survival and our current way of life than you may think! Frogs are so important that ecologists consider them to be bioindicators. In other words, scientists consider the health of a frog population to be a reflection of the health of the entire ecosystem (Encarta, 2001).\n\nDistribution\nThe northern leopard frog, R. pipiens, is common in North America, inhabiting twenty-six states and much of Canada (see adjacent map).\n\nHabitat\nRana pipiens live in a wide range of habitat, from open water and marshes to deserts and mountains (Frogs.org, 2000-2001).\n\nPhysical Characteristics\nThe northern leopard frog is medium in size, averaging from two to five inches long. They are green, brown, or both and have large dark irregular spots covering the dorsal part of their body (NPWRC, 2001). The skin covering R. pipiens is moist and smooth, and contains glands that secrete mucus in order to keep the skin from drying out. Northern leopard frogs also have glands in their skin that secrete poisons, which are strong enough to help them escape from their predators but are not harmful to humans (Encarta, 2001). Rana pipiens have eyes that are very keen, helping them not only capture prey but also to identify danger in their surroundings (Encarta, 2001). The northern leopard frog also has very powerful hind legs which are the main source of power in swimming and jumping. Also useful in swimming are the frog's webbed hind feet (Frog, 2001).\n\nFood and Feeding\nThe diets of tadpoles and froglets differ from those of adult R. pipiens, with the young consuming herbivory such as algae as well as microscopic animals. Adults feed largely on insects, but also slugs, snails, and smaller vertebrates such as chorus frogs (Harding 156-157 and Donegan, 1996).\n\nRelationship to other organisms in the ecosystem\nRana pipiens are common prey of birds such as herons, reptiles such as snakes, and mammals (including humans) (Donegan, 1996). Rana pipiens play an important role to humans. Besides being a source of food, frogs are used at every stage in their life for scientific study (Donegan, 1996). Furthermore, frogs play a key role in integrative pest management, eating agriculturally destructive insects.\n\nReproduction\nCopulation occurs in the water between March and June. The females release eggs while swimming and the male, who attaches himself to the female with specialized thumbs, fertilizes the eggs. The fertilized eggs are then attached to either underwater plant material or simply placed on the bottom of the pond (Frogs.org, 2001). Each female lays up to 3,000 eggs, which hatch 10-20 days after fertilization (Rasmussen, 2001).\n\nDevelopment and Lifespan\nThe frog life cycle (shown to the left) is fairly simple. The frogs begin their lives as eggs, which are laid in clumps. When the eggs hatch the baby frogs are tadpoles and do not have limbs or lungs, like the adult frog. The tadpole undergoes metamorphosis, growing hind legs first, then front legs, and at the same time, developing a well defined head. The gills are replaced with lungs as the froglet adapts to life on land. On land the frog continues to lose its tail and grow in size. Rana pipiens reach sexual maturity in two or three years (Encarta, 2001).\n\nBehavior\nRana pipiens are mostly nocturnal. Rana pipiens travel far distances away from water, but they must return to breed. In order to escape predators the northern leopard frog leaps into the water and buries itself in the mud or, if on land, takes several jumps into the air and then dives under vegetation for cover (Harding, 157). During the winter months northern leopard frogs hibernate.\n\nCommunication\nThe male northern leopard frog uses his croak to att

it depends on the family of the snake tat belongs 2 \nex:take python it will eat all small snakes which does not belong to python family..

Amphibians as a group are not doing that well on the planet and are one of the most sensitive groups suffering losses during environemntal degradation of the planet, esp their larval stages.  But here are a few cool things about them:\n\ntoads estivate and bury themselves deep in mud with spades on their back feet during peak heat-dry periods of summer\n\nfrogs hibernate-freeze (they are ectotherms) and can stay at bottle of a pond-lake frozen and thaw out in spring thaws.\n\npoison glands on skin and slimey skin helps them have a chance against some predation.\n\ngreat camoflauge on some species skin, esp with dorsal side of frog being greenish and ventral underside being whitish so they blend in their environment. \n\nGreat bright colors on some frogs in rain forest is a warning of their degree of poisonous-ness.....warning to animals to stay away and not eat-touch them.

depends on where they are. if they're near houses, they eat garbage.if in the woods,they eat anything including tree bark, but unless they find something dead to eat they won't last long. chances are they'll die of thirst in either place.

Some animals are picky. I have a pond turtle that wont eat his feeder fish

Ok, you probably mean the zooplankton.\nGenerally, you would name producers the algae (phytoplankton), that   photosynthesise, primary consumers the zooplankton (or some small fish, or some insects, crustaceans, etc) that eat the producers (they are herbivorous) and secondary producers the fish or crustaceans etc that eat the primary consumers.\nIn a pond ecosystem, the main primary consumers would be some insects and zooplankton, and secondary consumers some bigger animals (not necessarily aquatic)\nI would give you some on-line references but I do not know what exactly you need to find, or how specific or general information you need. Anyways, I give you a couple of websites, but I really don't know what exactly you need.\nIf you posted a comment with more details, I could edit my answer, trying to include more info
