While vacationing in Florida with her family on tuesday, Jenny Hausch was attacked by this 200 pound stingray. But Jenny wasn't in the water. Sitting in their tour boat, the stingray jumped out of the water and struck her in the chest. A Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission team tied a rope around the fish to pull it back into the water. Jenny was apparently unharmed, but another man was stung and got the barb stuck in his chest. Surgeons on Wednsday and Thursday were able to remove it without any further damage. The stingray is protected in Florida waters and is considered to be a non-aggressive species and of little danger to humans. I guess for one stingray, flying under the sea just wasn't good enough.
