Markossian thought it was just a fish, so he reached out and touched its tail. But when he did, it spun around again and bit him on the arm.

Markossian, in turn, kept his grasp on the tail. He said, "Because I thought, if I let go, it will bite me more."

With the two locked in a strange embrace(拥抱), Markossian decided to walk to shore, where he would have a better chance of getting the shark to release itself.

When Markossian got on shore, the shark still refused to give up its grip. With shock starting to set in, he lay down. Fortunately, his partner Marina Godess, saw him.

"When I first saw it I thought that he was just showing me a fish and showing off," she said. "But when he was on the beach and I realized what it was, I was more scared than he was."

After five minutes of trying to pry open (撬开) the shark’s jaws, a lifeguard finally cut off its head. "It looked like it was a really good bite, it got on real tight," lifeguard Mark McEvoy told The Associated Press.

Markossian will have a permanent(永久的) scar on his right forearm from the shark bite, but he required no stitches(缝补) and left the hospital a few hours after the attack.

Markossian says the attack won’t stop him from swimming, but regrets the shark had to die. "If they could have removed it without cutting the head off, I would have preferred it," he said. "All animals are our friends. I would say this shark was just unlucky."

Markossian’s family, meanwhile probably doesn’t regret the death. After lifeguards removed the shark, he asked to keep it - and served the nice meat to his family for dinner.

Markossian’s shark attack apparently hasn’t discouraged many people from swimming at the popular Bronte rockfaces. Locals were back there today, and divers say there are hundreds of such sharks in the area.
