Dolphin Bites 8-Year-Old Girl at Sea World


Feeding the dolphins at Sea World was a dream come true for 8-year-old Jillian Thomas, until one of the marine mammals bit into her arm, nearly dragging her into the water.

Jillian's mother took video of her daughter, who says dolphins are her favorite animal, feeding them at the theme park's Dolphin Cove.

Jillian was in the middle of her second visit of the day to the friendly looking animals when she made a crucial mistake, lifting a small plate of dolphin food in the air out of excitement, something the park warns people not to do.

The dolphin, eager for the food, chomped down on Jillian's arm instead, nearly dragging her into the water.

The 8-year-old walked away from the encounter with a set of teeth marks the size of dimes.

Girl Bit by Dolphin Felt Bad for the Mammal

The little girl who got bit by a dolphin at Sea World said today that it "really, really hurt."

But instead of being upset, 8-year-old Jillian Thomas said she prayed for the dolphin.

"There was this little carton that you put the fish in and I fed them and then I pulled it and raised it up and when the dolphin saw it, it leaped at me and bit me and ate the carton," Jillian said. "It really, really hurt."

She suffered three puncture wounds to her hand, about the size of a dime, before the dolphin released her.

The girl, however, was more worried about the dolphin.
