A 13-year-old girl bitten by a shark in Australia has lived to tell the tale, posting pictures of her injuries on Facebook.
Kirra-Belle Olsson was surfing off Avoca Beach, 60 miles (95km) north of Sydney, when she was bitten on the left ankle by a one-metre (3ft) shark, police said.
The accomplished competition surfer told how the shark tried to drag her off her board after biting her ankle, causing puncture wounds to her calf and foot.
"It just swung me around and tried to pull me under and I saw the tail and ... I really didn't know what to do so I just started screaming," Kirra-Belle told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation at Gosford Hospital.
"I paddled ... in shock (I) just started laughing, I was like, 'Whoa, what the hell, I just got bitten by a shark,'" she told Seven Network television.

Two weeks ago, a surfer had part of his arm torn off by a suspected four-metre (13ft) great white shark while surfing off the coast of Western Australia near the town of Esperance.
