A team of scientists from Texas University helped an injured sea turtle when they sailed in the ocean near Costa Rica. The scientists were collecting data on sea turtles when they saw the injured turtle. They noticed something in the nose of the turtle when it was swimming near their boat. But, they initially thought it was only a worm. The scientists were curious. They caught the turtle to examine the object in the turtle’s nose. They wanted to make sure it was not a dangerous parasite. They extracted a couple of centimeters of the object with pliers. The object came out. It was wrinkled and brownish. It was a plastic drinking straw! The scientists removed the object immediately because they were far away in the ocean. They spent almost ten minutes pulling it from the nostril of a sea turtle. With great difficulty, they succeeded in pulling the straw out of the turtle’s nostril. The nostril was bleeding, but the turtle was safe. The straw incident proved how dangerous plastic was to animals in the oceans. Why did the scientists decide to examine the turtle more closely?

To check if the object was dangerous
