Shark bites the Instagram model arm of the Bahamas; watch the video | World

"He [o tubarão] grabbed my wrist with his mouth, and I could feel his teeth sinking into my arm," Katarina told NBC News on Monday.

After being disengaged from the shark, the model quickly left the water. After all, there was a risk that the blood would attract the other animals present.

"Doctors believe that I still have pieces of shark teeth and my arm, and I will have the scar forever," Katarina told NBC, worried about her future career after the # 39; attack. "But I'm very lucky to still have my arm and my life," he said.

The young woman's father-in-law recorded the exact moment of the attack. Watch video :

Although considered docile, gray sharks – the species that attacked the model – may bite. They do not look for human flesh, but can confuse parts of the body with other animals and attack them.

The species can also be found on the coast of Brazil. However, it does not offer risks such as the sand shark or the flat-headed shark, considered the most dangerous of the Brazilian coast.
