Info from Licensor: "It was a day I promised my kids to go to the aquarium. We go there all the time, and this touch exhibit is the first thing we always do when we get there, so you know my kids were all excited to go over there. The worker told them to put two fingers and touch them gently as they swim by. My daughter did everything properly. The shark just attacked and jumped out of the water. The whole time I’m recording a normal video for memories of my kids touching bamboo sharks, and I happened to catch it. Of course, after the incident, first aid came right to us to disinfect, and check the area, along with some bandages. Regardless, this wasn’t supposed to happen. You’re supposed to be able to touch them with no problem. It was a traumatic experience. My daughter is safe, but she will never forget this incident. She will always be able to truthfully say that she got bit by a shark. Luckily, it was nothing serious."
