A 12-year-old Pennsylvania girl was bitten by a shark Monday while swimming in the waters off a Florida beach. She and her family were visiting for a gymnastics competition.
"Right when I got out of the water, I just started screaming because I knew that it wasn't good," she said.
Her mother, Melissa Stallings, told the outlet that when her husband picked their daughter up, they could see blood dripping down her leg. Woodhead had been swimming south of the Cocoa Beach pier. She and her family are visiting the area from Philadelphia and were in town for a gymnastics competition. "My first thought was, like, I'm not going to do gymnastics," the girl explained.The type of shark was not immediately made clear.Woodhead got 50 stitches, and doctors told her they believed the shark had bitten her twice because of the number of puncture wounds.

'When she’s not exploring the island with her friends she can usually be found perched atop a three-story climbing platform surveying her new world.“She gets along with all of the other 18 chimps on her island, and has a particularly playful relationship with the alpha male Dwight, from whom she steals food,” they added.
