Mystery Shark Bites 15-Year-Old Boy Scout’s Hand

A 15-year-old Boy Scout was reportedly bitten by a shark while boating with his father off southern California’s Catalina Island. LA County Lifeguards spokesman Pono Barnes told KCBS, “The patient and their father were kayaking just off shore,” when they encountered the mystery creature. “Their boat was bumped by a shark of unknown size and type,” Barnes continued. The teen put his hand in the water, and the shark bit him.
