Swimmer Bitten and Rushed to Hospital, Shark Stays Attached

Sure, it's small, but it's still a shark with sharp teeth that no one wants in their arm.

Have you ever been in the ocean and had something very large swim past you? In many ocean waters, it's not unusual to see dolphins cavorting around, or even a shark. Manatees are also a common occurrence on the beaches we go to in Florida, and those suckers are huge! I can't tell you how many times we've been on the beach, only to see a bunch of swimmers standing around waist deep in the water letting the manatees swim near them. I always think to myself, "Are you kidding? That's just an accident waiting to happen!"

Now, according to the Sun Sentinel, that is what happened over the weekend in Florida, but with a shark.

Witnesses on the beach saw some antagonizing what's called a nurse shark in the water. There is no word on how the woman came in contact with it, but she wound up with the two-foot nurse shark attached to her arm, and it was not letting go. As a matter of fact, the poor shark died still attached to her arm.

There is just no cure for stupid.

By the way, the National Park Service recommends leaving sharks alone.
