A 13-year-old girl was attacked by a barracuda while on a birthday trip to Turks and Caicos. “It was running through my whole arm, and it was just like a horror movie,” she told the outlet Tuesday. I just felt a big bite, and then when I moved my hand, it just went away. It was still just bleeding and then, of course, my second thought was she was going to lose her hand.” Macdonel, who wants to be a marine biologist when she grows up, will undergo surgery back in Texas this week.
