This one is for you, David!

They're closer than we think!

Eleven-year-old Hudson Anthony survived a nibble from a sand shark while wading in the waters of Santa Rosa, FL.

Hudson was standing alone in a school of minnows in waist-deep water on Oct. 8 when he felt an intense, sharp pain. Then he saw a nice, big gash.

“Shark Bait” was taken to Sacred Heart Hospital in Santa Rosa where the family learned from hospital officials that a school of minnows is the last place a swimmer needs to be hanging out. Sharks feed there. Based on the size of the wound, which required two layers of stitches and eight stitches on top, hospital officials speculated the gash came from a 4-5 ft sand shark.

Guess we'll have to keep hoping this is the only shark we find:
