A 16-year-old girl died Saturday after she was mauled by a shark while she was trying to swim with dolphins.
The attack occurred after the girl jumped off her jet ski to join a pod of dolphins on Perth's Swan River in western Australia, according to a report."There was possibly a pod of dolphins seen nearby and the young female jumped in the water to swim nearby the dolphins," Police acting inspector Paul Robinson said.
"The family weren't there when this took place, however, her friends were and as you can imagine this is an extremely traumatic incident for anyone to witness," Robinson said. "I've spoken to fisheries and water police and unfortunately we have no idea what type of shark it is," Robinson said.
