A BIZARRE video shows the moment a man casually walks around a beach with a shark attached to his arm after the beast bit him and refused to let go.
The man can be seen attracting a crowd on Jensen Beach in Florida beach with small nursing shark, whose teeth are sunk into his arm.
In the video, stunned onlookers watch on as the man calmly holds the shark to avoid further injuries after he is thought to have been savaged while swimming.
A man can be heard saying: "if the shark is flipped, it will get dizzy and disoriented", forcing it to open its mouth.
But whenever the man makes an attempt to pull the shark away, it only bites down harder.
Other onlookers made fun of the situation by shouting, 'Shark lives matter', in reference to the Black Lives Matter movement.
According to the person who posted the video, the man had to be taken to the hospital in order for the shark to be removed and he is okay.
Nurse sharks are low-dwelling slow moving sharks who generally are harmless to humans but can show a ruthless side if bothered.

At least the shark wasn’t pulling his leg.
I sometimes walk around the house with cats attached to my ankles, so I sort of know what that’s like.;-)
I stepped on one of those while wading into the ocean years ago. It was about 3 feet long. I made a bee-line out of the water.

Mostly peaceful sharks.
The pop-up ads hurt more than the shark bite.
I triped over mine 7/21 and now have a plate, screws and cast on my ankle.
F’en cat

Bravo! Goes to show you what a JOKE that ‘movement’ is, LOL!
Got 4 fur babies right now. I know what you mean.
Some things you can’t change. You just have to get on with life.
Dude missed out on an opportunity to pick up women. Up until that point, the only two babe magnets I knew of are dogs and babies.
He’s walking around the beach with a shark attached to him. Ooooookay. The shark can survive how long out of water? At some point the shark is going to feel a tad uncomfortable no?
I recall a scuba mag article from the 1980s about nurse sharks, and the idea that they don't bite.
The point of the article was that "playing" with the nurse shark can have negative consequences.
OTOH one would probably be using poor judgment to say "Please shoot this shark."
Surf with them all time off the cost of San Diego. This time of year is their mating season and the cluster by the hundreds at the surf line.
The standard joke is if you want to be bitten by a nurse shark you have to stick your foot in their mouth and stand on their head.
One time, one of my cats latched on to my thigh, and was hanging on by one of his claws. Drew blood. I had to give the poor cat a flea bath, and the easiest way to do it was get undressed, and get into the tub with him, and close the sliding doors so he couldn't jump out. Thank God I never had to do that again.

Now, all the kids will want one.
I think we all need further information on this incident.
It’s as if Aesop wrote a fable about the democrats and black people.
