Getting bitten by a shark must be a truly horrifying experience, what with all the pain and chance of drowning.

 

But you’ve got to admit, there’s something beautifully poetic about the thought of someone posing amidst a school of sharks and actually getting chomped by one.

 

Especially when that person is an Instagram ~influencer~.

 

Model Katarina Zarutskie was doing it for the ‘gram, floating in the crystal clear waters of Staniel Cay in the Bahamas as her dad took some snaps.

Some people are born stupid.  Others have to work at it very hard.

But surely the sharks knew she was a model, a celebrity, so it's not fair for them to bite her. 

 

 

The owner of the marina told NBC that while the sharks are usually pretty docile, they ‘can and do bite’, often mistaking fingers and hands for bits of food....maybe because it is food !

her dad is the one taking the snaps? Guess this is a case of "idiot raising an idiot"....

Well, she certainly influenced the sharks.

To his credit, he had enough detached, professional discipline to keep taking photos AFTER she was bitten, thinking, "Oh yeah, this is going to go VIRAL!  Pure Gold!"

She would have been perfectly safe if she had been a lawyer. Out of professional courtesy the sharks would have left her alone.
