Hundreds of coins extracted from sea turtle

Young visitors watch the female green green turtle nicknamed "Bank" swim in a pool at Sea Turtle Conservation Centre.

Thai veterinarians removed 915 coins from a 25-year-old sea turtle which had been swallowing items thrown into her pool for good luck, eventually limiting her ability to swim.

Why we shouldn’t bring back extinct species

The last known Tasmanian Tiger, or Thylacine, died at Hobart Zoo in 1936.

While it might sound like a cool idea to bring animals like the Tasmanian tiger back from extinction, new research shows this would come at the cost of other already threatened species.
