Fork removed from turtle's nose

WARNING: This may be hard to watch for some.

An olive ridley sea turtle found with a plastic fork stuck inside of its nostril in Costa Rica, so Nathan J. Robinson and the Las Baulas field team went to work after being notified by a tourist. The Leatherback trust conservation team was able to save the turtle and return it to the ocean breathing freely.
