Description:
Jennifer Cation, 35, was bitten by a shark at Fernandina Beach, FL while on a family vacation. She was wading in chest high water with her daughter when she was bumped by the animal. She brought her daughter to shore and realized she had been bitten. The shark left her leg bone exposed and severed tendons. Her husband provided first aid while waiting for medics to arrive. She was then transported by air to a hospital.

The shark responsible for the attack is believed to be a black tip shark based on photos of Jennifer's injuries.
