Model Gets Bitten By Shark While Swimming

An Instagram Model, Katarina Zarutskie was badly bitten by a Shark while she was swimming and taking photos.

Zarutskie was fortunate to still have her arm after a nurse shark latched onto it and dragged her under water while swimming with a school of seemingly harmless sharks in the Bahamas last month.

The 19-year-old Zarutskie, an avid surfer from Laguna Beach, California, and a nursing student, told Fox News she was on vacation with her boyfriend and his family when locals told her about the opportunity to swim with nurse sharks in Staniel Cay.

She added the locals were “very encouraging” in telling her to try the activity.
