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.

Appears to be a sturgeon... hardly a “meat-eating predator”...LOL

If I had a nickel for every time…

[Red Badger]

Since it was a sturgeon, it’s getting revenge for all that Russian caviar...............

[Georgia Girl 2]

Yes it looks like a large sturgeon to me also.

“when she swam in the path of the beast”

Not according to the video.

Well ... it’s China. I wonder how long it took to train the fish for that stunt.

3 merman's from an SNL skit with Lady Gaga that was supposedly cut for time. Not a bad skit and better than the crap they do now.

Fish wasn’t scared, it was irritated by the intrusion.

[PJ-Comix]

Looked like a nurse shark to me, which are generally pretty docile I am told.

Yeah, but they are a SALTWATER fish. Not fresh water.

[P8riot]

I saw what you did there.

[katana]

Hmmmmm, Russian mermaid. May have been attempted payback for all the caviar.

[No name given]

I’d say you’re right.

The scales of justice were not in her favor.

I wonder if the mermaid employees have grouper insurance.
