After being harassed and having its tail pulled by a group of swimmers at the beach by Red Reef Park in Boca Raton on Sunday, a nurse shark decided that it had had enough and sank its teeth into one of their arms and simply refused to let go.

Even when pulled out of the water and dead from suffocation, the shark maintained its vise-like grip on the woman it bit. The paramedics, unable to remove the shark, took her to Boca Raton Regional Hospital, where the woman was given a sharkectomy, treated for her injuries, and released, possibly with some newfound wisdom about not harassing animals.
