Marine Life 10 year old attacked by a shark - Bahamas

[MB NZ]

Well, how many humans spend time with cows? I was working closely with them when I was 4 or 5, but most have never been in a pen with one.

Yes, that needs to be known too before any of these comparisons are worthwhile making.

Yes, I was simply stating how stupid that kid was.

I remember a story of a fellow being bitten by one that wouldn't let go. He had to wear it to the lifeguard station.

Yeah - kids tend to do dumb stuff and don't think through the consequences. But they also get a lot out of every new experience, because at that age their brains are soaking up information like a sponge. Oh, well... it keeps you on your toes as a parent!

Thanks, Don. Appreciated, and better late than never. If the Bahamas aren’t the global hotspot for shark bites, where is!

New Smyrna Beach, Florida. Of course they are all nip and taste requiring some stitches. Combination of swimmers, surfers, murky water, baitfish and lots and lots of small sharks
