Predators

In addition to being the nearly exclusive food of the snail kite, apple snails are important food to other bird predators such as limpkins, white ibis, and boat-tailed grackles. Other types of animals, such as alligators, redear sunfish, and soft-shelled turtles also prey on apple snails.
