errifying footage captured the moment a massive fish chomped its jaws down on the head of a woman dressed as a mermaid as she performed underwater for children at a Chinese aquarium.
The Russian aquatic artist, identified only as Masha, was swimming in a tank at the Xishuangbanna Primitive Forest Park in southern China on Tuesday when she swam in the path of the beast, according to The Daily Mail.
The fish bites down on Masha, 22, nearly fitting her whole head in its mouth while children and other spectators yell in horror...
Masha claims her employer forced her back in the water despite being in pain and warned her not to share footage of the attack, but the clip quickly went viral on Douyin – the Chinese-language version of TikTok.
They paid her less than $100 in compensation, she claimed.

What species was the fish? What a poorly written article.

Need to feed the fish more ,LOL
She’s gonna need a skilled plastic sturgeon
Sturgeon
If I were her, I would turn in my fish tail at the end of the day. Take this tail and shove it!
Last line of article:
“Reports did not indicate what kind of fish was involved, however the freshwater aquarium holds native species from the Mekong and Yangtze Rivers, according to The Daily Mail.”

I can’t believe that a Chinese employer wouldn’t care about an employee’s welfare. After all, communism is all about power to the people. ✊
Right?
They ought to fillet the fish and let, “the mermaid” have it for dinner
Not a very good picture.
Fish don’t have hands, folks. They use their mouth to test and explore things (as does any human toddler). The girl was unfamiliar, and close by. That’s all.
Exactly. That poor fish was more scared than she was.
Would make a pretty good crummy Disney princess movie.
Like Godzilla versus Bambi — but with gratuitously gruesome decapitations.
You don’t expect news like this out of China.
