Teen's leg bitten off day after 11-year-old lost limb to shark attack in Brazil

A TEENAGER has had her leg bitten off by a shark in a second horror attack in just two days in a popular Brazilian holiday getaway. An 11-year-old named overnight as Joao Lucas Castor Nemezio Sales lost his left leg on Sunday afternoon after being mauled by a bull shark. And yesterday Marcela Vitoria de Lima Santos, 19, had her right leg amputated following a new attack blamed on a tiger shark. The second drama occurred in Boa Viagem, a popular upscale coastal neighbourhood in the city of Recife in north-east Brazil just a 10-minute drive north of Piedade Beach in nearby Jaboatao dos Guararapes where the boy was bitten. Both are patients at the same hospital called Hospital da Restauracao in Recife, a place known for its shark problem.
