Now this has got to hurt … a mermaid performer at China’s Xishuangbanna Primitive Forest Park aquarium was mauled by a giant fish … leaving her with a gnarly cut below her eye.
Watch the shocking video … the performer — reportedly a 22-year-old named Masha — is gracefully gliding through the freshwater tank when the fish opens its mouth and clamps down on her head, leaving onlookers in a state of horror. Aquarium visitors are heard screaming as she fights her way out of the fish’s mouth and frantically swims to the surface.
The unidentified fish — possibly a great sturgeon — appears unbothered by the fiasco and carries on with its journey around the tank.
Masha was reportedly offered around $96 in “moral damages” following the attack … and apparently the aquarium wants to keep the incident as hush-hush as possible.
Well, it looks like not all fish are friends … ouch!
