Melisa Brunning was hand-feeding tawny nurse sharks when one of them took hold of her finger.
Brunning, who was on her honeymoon, has described the terrifying incident that was caught on tape.
“It happened so quickly. All I could really focus on was the fact that my finger is gone. It clamped on it and it was shredding off the bone,” said Brunning.
The 34-year-old sustained cuts, a fracture and a bad infection. Fortunately, she did not lose her finger. The incident happened last month.
