A University of Miami nursing student is recovering from a shark bite after she went for a swim with more than a dozen nurse sharks.
Katarina Zarutskie, 19, was on vacation in the Bahamas, when she wanted to take pictures with a group of nurse sharks.

As she was lying in the water, a shark bit her arm, Zarutskie said.
"Next thing I knew, I was under water, and I felt it, and adrenaline just kicked in," Zarutskie said.
Zarutskie went to the hospital and will be OK.
A nearby marina owner said nurse sharks are normally docile, but the sharks could have been feeding, making Zarutskie's exposed fingers and limbs tempting.
