A pregnant shark attacked a veterinarian in South Africa (5 photos + 1 video)
A pregnant sand shark brutally attacked a veterinary diver in South Africa as he attempted to perform a medical examination to check her health. The doctor was seriously injured. 
A veterinarian went underwater at an aquarium in South Africa to conduct a medical examination of a resident resident, a pregnant sandbar shark. First, the doctor swam behind the shark, trying to inject a tranquilizer through its fins. Although this shark usually interacted calmly with people, this time it apparently was not in the mood. 
When the diver finally managed to catch up with the shark, he tried to sit on top of it to inject a tranquilizer - but the shark responded by attacking him. She sank her sharp teeth into the man's hand, and the aquarium began to fill with blood. Fortunately, he managed to break free in time. On the surface, he was immediately helped by the aquarium staff and taken to a safe place for examination and first aid. 
The veterinarian suffered serious injuries to his arm, but after a few months he fully recovered and returned to work in the aquarium. Sandwich sharks do not typically attack divers or tend to be aggressive towards people, experts say. However, in this case, the pregnant female instinctively attacked the diver, feeling threatened and trying to defend herself.
