AUDIO: MERMAID ATTACKED BY BIG FISH
A woman performing as a mermaid at a Chinese aquarium was attacked by one of the fish. Masha, a 22-yer-old Russian woman, was swimming as a mermaid at the Xishuangbanna Primitive Forest Park mermaid show when a very large fish tried to clamp its mouth around her head. According to witnesses, the fish’s jaws opened wide, encircling the Russian performer’s face (* I think I once dated that fish) but fortunately, after a brief struggle, she managed to break free and swim to the surface. The fish did eat Masha’s goggles and nose clips and left some injuries to her face and neck. Despite this, she was forced back into the aquarium to complete her work shift. The freshwater aquarium features native species from the Mekong and Yangtze Rivers, although the type of fish responsible for the attack remains unspecified.
* A kissing gourami? (that’s joke for all your tropical fish enthusiasts.)
* “She’s injured! Is there a sturgeon in the house?”
* Maybe the fish was trying to get some tail.
* I guess it was just an Act of Cod.
* “The Little Mermaid 4: Bite Me!”
CLIP: They don’t know what the fish was, but witnesses said they heard this just before the fish attack. (“Barracuda” by Heart)
