Called a military aircraft: a man survived after a shark attack (photo)

The predator waited for 20-year-old Angus Kokott near the island of Mangarev. The boy was lucky that he took the knife for cutting diving cables while swimming. The victim from the attack of the shark 20-year-old Angus Cocott was miraculously escaped: a 2. 5-meter predator appeared literally from nowhere and grabbed him by his hand. The incident happened near the Mangarev Island in French Polynesia, writes the British tabloid Daily Star.

The water was a shallow, but it did not prevent the gray rifo shark to attack. Cocott was not lost: he quickly got the knife for cutting diving cables and hit the shark in the gill. The fish released him, but the teeth stuck in the guy's hand and caused injuries. I had to call a military aircraft urgently to deliver Cocott to the nearest hospital. The difficult operation lasted six hours: the sharp teeth of the shark cut two main nerves and several tendons.

Doctors have made skin and nerves transplanting, and from the injured limb received fragments of teeth. The guy is still undergoing physiotherapy and nerve treatment, but says he is looking forward to returning to the ocean. Kokotta perceives the predator's attack "defining experience" in life and even made himself a memory of shark earrings. "When the shark bites me, there was no time to panic. In such situations, so much adrenaline is produced that I just needed to act.

At first I felt severe pain and really thought I would lose my hand. I think that it came into its territory Such is to blame the animal, "he describes his experiences. Focus wrote earlier that sharks are long -lived and have been existing for over 400 million years. Predators were able to survive during periods of mass extinctions of animals. We will remind, 14-year-old Blane Brown from Western Virginia also survived the attack of shark.
