Wow, that headline is as misleading as you can get. These are nurse sharks... very timid, and very small teeth. She fed one, and left her finger too close. She freaked out at the feel of the bite, and slipped on the platform that was in the water. This was not a great white pulling her around like a rag doll, this was a skittish girl freaking out and slipping because she got nipped on the finger.

Nurse shark teeth:

You'd get bit worse by not minding your fingers while feeding a carrot to a horse.

Thus, the open palm method. Kinda like tucking your fingers when using a chef's knife, all methods to keep fingers attached.

Yeah, but the ignorant general public can’t distinguish between a Nurse shark and a great white, thus the journalistic sensationalism.

Nurse sharks are pretty harmless but I wouldn’t stick my finger in their mouth either.
