===Ecology===
Limpkins are reported to be attacked and eaten by [[American Alligator]]s. There are also reports of adults with serious foot and leg injuries, suggesting that they may have been attacked by turtles while standing on floating vegetation. Their nests are apparently predated by snakes, [[racoon]]s, crows and muskrats.<ref name="BNA"/> Foraging adults may in times of drought be victims of [[kleptoparasitism]] by [[Snail Kite]]s,<ref>{{cite journal|last=Miller|first=Bruce W.|coauthors=Ronald L. Tilson|year=1985|title=Snail Kite kleptoparasitism of Limpkins |journal =The Auk|volume=102|issue=1|pages=170–171 |url=http://elibrary.unm.edu/sora/Auk/v102n01/p0170-p0171.pdf}}</ref> and the attempted theft of apple snails caught by Limkins has also been observed in [[Boat-tailed Grackle]]s.<ref name='Bennetts'/>
