Heartbreaking, and more so to think that this is the LUCKY turtle, as opposed to the other 99.9% that don't ever get the help they need.

*quality work helping her out, though. Once that heals, that turtle is going to have a much better chance of surviving now that it can breathe with both nostrils.

The scientists who helped the poor girl figure she ingested the straw at some point, and due to the layout of an Olive Ridley's internal passages, when she probably vomited it out of her stomach, it went up the wrong way. It's probably been forcing it's way through her nose for a while.

Humanity needs an enema.

Did pretty good for it just being a Swiss Army Knife.

Presumably you can't just spray WD-40 up a turtle's nose.
