A spectacle dressed as a mermaid has learned of the hard time recently that sharing an aquarium tank with a huge sturgeon is not sure.
The accompanying images, captured in China, show the mermaid that occurred graciously in front of an audience which included children when the sturgeon has briefly sucked in his mouth.
The woman, clearly surprised but remaining somewhat graceful, has mounted without further incident.
However, according to the Daily Mail, the 22 -year -old artist, from Russia, suffered injuries to the face, neck and eyes. She was apparently put back in the water despite her injuries.
The Daily Mail did not identify the type of fish, and some on social networks said it was a shark.
But Wednesday, Michael Domeier, a renowned shark expert, clarified the problem, explaining via Instagram: “This is happening today. Yes, it really happened, but it’s not a shark. In fact, it is a freshwater giant: Sturgeon. »»
Adult sturgeons are long -standing feeders and not considered dangerous for humans in the wild. But they are large and powerful and guarantee respect.
As the images shown, they are able to considerably prolong their mouths while feeding, generally on the background as a vacuum cleaner.
We do not know why the sturgeon continued the mermaid, but it seemed to steal the glasses with her head.
