Six-Year-Old Boy Bitten by Lemon Shark in Seychelles
On 2 March 2023, six-year-old Arthur from France was snorkeling in shallow water at Grande Sœur, Seychelles, when a lemon shark suddenly bit his foot.
His family quickly got him to shore, where his wound was bandaged before he was transported to a doctor. He was later flown to Necker Hospital in Paris for further treatment.
