Researchers Remove Plastic Straw from Sea Turtle's Nose

NTDTV
Christine and a group of fellow marine biologists were on an in-water research trip in Guanacaste, Costa Rica, when they found a male olive ridley sea turtle with something lodged in his nose. What they first thought was a worm turned out to be a plastic straw, which took several painstaking minutes to remove. After doing so, the group disinfected the turtle’s air passageway with iodine and kept him for observation until the bleeding stopped.
