You wouldn't believe how many different species of turtles and tortoises there are in this world, some vegetarian, some omnivores, some are even strictly meat eaters. Since the question was asking about "turtles" the term will be used here in the sense that they are aquatic and/or box turtles we're talking about. And presuming that they catch prey, instead of "pray", different species go about it in different manners. The snapping, mud and musk turtles have an awesome way to do it: by sitting still and quietly in the mud for hours, sometimes with their mouths open. Softshells wait for fish in the mud as well, but can sometimes also smell out their prey while it is itself hidden in the muck. Other aquatic turtles will just chase down the fish that they think they can catch. Box turtles will spend their day foraging through grasses and dirt, eating grubs, earthworms, and whatever tasty protein filled bugs they can find.
snaps them with its beak. remember they may be cumbersome on land, but they are basically flying underwater.
it sneaks around the ocean and its tentacles feel for food in the water. it then squeezes the prey and eats it.
After the turtles hatch, they make their way into the sea. Once they get into the sea, they can swim perfectly fine, making them able to catch their prey.

Are turtles bad?
Turtles (especially wild ones) are very defensive, as you would expect from a species that is both prey and competitive with other turtles and fauna. Most instinctively hide within their shells. But if one's head is touched, or a leg or tail is pulled, the turtle can become aggressive and snap or bite.

What do jaguareat?
The jaguar feeds on a wide range of terrestrial and aquatic animals; it eats more then 80 different kinds of prey, one of which is cattle (that is one reason why humans kill the jaguar). Jaguars prey as well on sheep, and feed on rodents, peccaries, deer, birds, fish, armadillos, turtles, and crocodiles. In high grass or bushes, jaguars stalk or ambush their prey such as peccaries, capybaras, deer, and tapirs. In the forests, they hide in the trees to spring on birds and monkeys, or capture turtles on the river banks and fish from the water. On the plains, they prey on sheep and cattle. They eat almost any kind of animal including deer, their favorite food, fish, wild pigs, iguanas, turtles, capybaras and other kinds of rodents. Jaguars rarely attack humans.
