The picture of a 12 cm long straw inserted into the nostrils of the American beach turtle is heartbr

According to foreign media reports, don't litter the sea any more, because it may bring danger to the sea creatures. In the waters of Costa Rica, animal researchers have discovered a male Pacific turtle with a 12 centimeter long straw in his nostril.

The researchers put the turtle on the boat and initially thought the foreign body in its nostrils was a parasite.

The video showed that they had to use a pair of tweezers to 'operate' the turtle because of insufficient tools they had with them.

Several researchers held down the turtle while another tried to pick out the habit with tweezers. Unfortunately, the straws were deeply embedded in the turtle's nose, making it difficult to pull them out. In the process, the turtle also shed bright red nosebleed.

The researchers who took the video said: 'that's why we shouldn't throw plastic straws into the sea. '

After struggling many times, the researchers finally clamped the straw firmly and pulled it out. Then nosebleed gushed out of the turtle's nose.

But now it's very obvious that it doesn't like the process more freely. '

The researchers then disinfected the turtle's nasal cavity with iodine and observed its health.

Thankfully, soon after the straws were pulled out, the turtle's nose stopped bleeding. Soon after, it was released back to the sea.
