A nurse on holiday has been seriously injured after a shark pounced on her while snorkelling in the Ecuadorian archipelago.
Delia Yriarte suffered serious injuries to her right leg and said she went numb when she saw the ocean turn red with her blood.
The emergency doctor at the Santa Cruz Island hospital told The Associated Press on Wednesday that the 40-year-old woman "is stable, she is conscious, she underwent surgery on her right leg. She did not lose her leg."
