    Shark bite in Boca Raton: Woman taken to hospital with nurse shark attached to her arm

    http://www.sun-sentinel.com/local/pa...515-story.html

    It was an alarming sight for beachgoers when a woman walked out of the water with a nurse shark biting a meaty portion of her right forearm.

    And no matter what she did, the 2-foot shark refused to release its bite.

    Even when it died.

    Paramedics ultimately took the woman — with the dead shark still attached to her arm — to Boca Raton Regional Hospital on Sunday afternoon, according to Boca Raton Ocean Rescue.

    The woman was in stable condition, officials said.

    @Dr. Who ---> Short story: My daughter and i spent a week in Maui about 8 years ago.

    So we found a reef not far from our hotel where this blowfish accepted our food gifts.

    Go back the next day and he'd in the exact same spot and fed him again..

    My kid was afraid of sharks and had to talk her into the first foray.

    After that?

    Could NOT get her out of the water..

    Wonder if that spoiled blowfish is still in the same spot 8 years later?

    Bet so!

    Aw, he has a cute little face. Could be that is where he normally feeds. There is usually a lot of food for fish near a reef.
