A groom has filmed the terrifying moment his wife was bitten by a shark while they were on a honeymoon.
Sarah Illig was swimming in the clear waters of the Caribbean when a nurse shark lurched towards her.
Footage captured by her husband, Evan Carroll, shows the shark suddenly biting into her arm. She quickly recoils and swims as fast as she can away from the predator.
“Less than a second later I realized how much it hurt and looked past where my goggles were blocking my side vision to see the shark (bigger than myself) latched on to my arm.”
“We had to leave it untreated for an hour or so, just to get back to where we were going before we could get it treated. That was the most painful simply because it was an opened flesh wound,” she added.
Concerned friends asked if she was ok, with one asking if she had lost any skin in the attack.
She replied, “yes! If we were home we would have gotten some stitches but it worked out not getting them!”
“Only had a bunch of flesh wounds along my arm. We were worried about staph or another infection but it’s healing great!”
She added, “Scared the heckkkkk out of me! Evan had the GoPro under water filming and couldn’t even tell it happened since he was above water!”
She and her husband got married three weeks before the incident, going to the Bahamas for their honeymoon.
Nurse Sharks Approach Boy
A man who was operating a drone over a beach in the Bahamas saw the moment a group of sharks approached a boy.Artem Tkachenko spotted a boy in green swimming trunks running into the ocean before the sharks approached the child, who was seemingly unaware of the situation that was unfolding around him.
Even though his command to the boy was simplistic, the boy responded and rushed to shore. There were four sharks in all.
Some people pointed out that the sharks may have been nurse sharks, which are generally harmless.
