Sydney: A lady who was pulled into crocodile-infested waters in northwestern Australia when a shark bit her finger as she attempted to feed it has explained the scary minute which almost cost her a digit.Melissa Brunning said she was on a private yacht in the remote Kimberley region some 2,500 kilometres (1,553 miles) north of Perth when she attempted to hand-feed up to 4 Tawny nurse sharks spending time the back of the boat.The two-metre (6.6-foot) animal-- which has strong jaws and rows of sharp teeth-- sucked at her ideal index finger like a Hoover (vacuum) , she told The West Australian late Saturday.
I think the shark remained in shock as much as I was the only method I can explain it is this immense pressure and it seemed like it was shredding it off the bone, the 34-year-old stated.
I showed up and I was like, 'I have actually lost my finger, my finger's gone'.
Cellphone video footage of the occurrence at Dugong Bay in late May, aired by industrial broadcaster Channel Seven on Saturday, showed Brunning screaming as she was dragged into the water prior to the boat's crew and good friends rapidly pulled her out.She sustained cuts, a fracture, a torn ligament and a bad infection on her finger as an outcome of the encounter, but astonishingly did not lose the digit.
It's not the shark's fault at all, but it might have been a lot worse, Brunning stated, adding that she had actually discovered to respect marine life, and look at it in awe, but just leave them alone .
Brunning stated she did not understand that she ought to have left the piece of fish in front of her and watch the shark suck it up, instead of trying to hand-feed it.
This is not a shark attack, this is simply a blonde doing a dumb thing When you're in the water, they're top of the food chain, it's their domain.
We're not suggested to be in the water, if we were we 'd have gills, she added.Apart from sharks, saltwater crocodiles-- which can mature to 7 metres long and weigh more than a tonne-- are likewise found at the bay.
