Maybe we should stop bothering things that can bite the hell out of us because then these things happen.

A 23-year-old beachgoer who, according to one witness, was part of a group that was “holding the shark’s tail” and “antagonizing” it was bitten by the two-foot long creature. It seems like it was so pissed at the woman that it refused to let go, and still didn’t let go all the way to the hospital.
The woman was treated and is fine, but unfortunately the tiny shark didn’t make it.
The needy shark is in fact a nurse shark, and they can grow up to seven-feet long.
The lesson here is to stop being a-holes to animals, and just tan and Instagram seashells like normal beachgoers.
