VIDEO: She Was Bitten by a Shark While Filming an Ad

Working with animals is hard, because they are not the best at taking and following orders.

But when the animal you’re working with is a shark, things can get very, very dangerous.

Molly Cavalli experienced it first hand.

According to Viral 4 Real, sharks do not normally hunt humans. When they do attack a human, it is usually a case of mistaken identity.

Shark sometimes mistake humans for its natural prey, such as fish or a marine mammal or sea turtle, and most often will release the person after the first bite. Despite their scary reputation, sharks rarely ever attack humans and would much rather feed on fish and marine mammals.

Unfortunately for this porn star, she experience a ‘rare’ attack that had left her bloodied and traumatized. Molly Cavalli was ready to shoot an underwater ad, and was very excited a few minutes before jumping into the water.

The buxom blonde was assisted by the crew and jumped into the water and into a shark cage. But after only a few seconds in the water, something went out of hand. Molly can be seen terrified as a 10-foot lemon shark suddenly attacked her!

Thankfully, the shark let go of her at first bite, and didn’t continue to attack her after that. But according to reports, the bite was so big that she needed 20 stitches.

Many netizens pointed out that the cage’s bars were too wide that the shark was able to go in and attack her. Some also noticed that the men didn’t guide her very well.

According to Wikipedia, the classic view describes a solitary hunter, ranging the oceans in search of food. However, this applies to only a few species. Most live far more social, sedentary, benthic lives, and appear likely to have their own distinct personalities.

Even solitary sharks meet for breeding or at rich hunting grounds, which may lead them to cover thousands of miles in a year. Shark migration patterns may be even more complex than in birds, with many sharks covering entire ocean basins.

Sharks can be highly social, remaining in large schools. Sometimes more than 100 scalloped hammerheads congregate around seamounts and islands, e.g., in the Gulf of California. Cross-species social hierarchies exist. For example, oceanic whitetip sharks dominate silky sharks of comparable size during feeding.

When approached too closely some sharks perform a threat display. This usually consists of exaggerated swimming movements, and can vary in intensity according to the threat level.

Sharks possess brain-to-body mass ratios that are similar to mammals and birds, and have exhibited apparent curiosity and behavior resembling play in the wild.

There is evidence that juvenile lemon sharks can use observational learning in their investigation of novel objects in their environment.

All sharks need to keep water flowing over their gills in order for them to breathe, however not all species need to be moving to do this. Those that are able to breathe while not swimming do so by using their spiracles to force water over their gills, thereby allowing them to extract oxygen from the water.
