Surgery to remove 12cm plastic tubes from the nostrils of turtles

As well as pollution of water, soil or air, pollution of the sea is also one of the most painful problems in the world. Recently, two scientists from Texas, USA have strongly urged people not to continue to use plastic once after they directly see the harm they cause to marine life.

The straw is pulled out of the 12cm long turtle's nostril.

During a scientific study of the sea in Costa Rica, two scientists, Christine Figgener and Nathan Robinson, found a rare male male sea turtle suffering from a blocked nose . It is known that the turtle appears in the clip is a rare sea turtle called the pineapple turtle tortoise . It is also known for its scientific name, Lepidochelys Olivacea . At first, the two scientists thought what was inside the turtle's nose was the parasite parasite, but after observing it carefully, they realized, it was a plastic straw.

Summary of rudimentary and painful surgery.

Due to being in the sea far away from the shore and the veterinary center, the two scientists were forced to operate on their own to save the life of the poor turtle. The only thing they had at that time was a small pliers. After 8 minutes of struggling, the two finally pulled out a 12cm long straw from its nostrils. However, the suction tube plugged into the nostrils so deeply that when pulled out, it made the turtle's nose bleed. It seems that because of the pain, the turtle is also uncomfortable with this reluctant surgery.

The clip recorded the whole process of rudimentary surgery posted by YouTube scientist Christine Figgener on Monday. Immediately after appearing on the internet, the clip received great attention from the online community with hundreds of thousands of shares calling for the protection of the marine environment.

On the side of the two scientists, although they did a good job, they would have to pay a fine for violating their research powers.
