Florida Teen Reportedly Bitten By Large, Unknown Marine Animal In Key Largo
SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA - JULY 25: The teeth and jaw of a Great White Shark are displayed after research into the biological mechanics of the predator July 25, 2007 in Sydney, Australia. Researchers at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) including Dan Huber from the the University of Tampa, Florida in the USA, plan to remove muscles from the head of several sharks in order to create a digital shark, to help determine it's bio mechanics and potential "bite force".

On Saturday in Key Largo, Florida a 15 year old boy was lobstering off his parent’s boat when, according to Local 10, his legs were bitten by an unknown underwater creature.
“It could have been a barracuda or a shark,” says Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) spokesperson Officer Bobby Dube. “I don’t know. It’s unconfirmed.”
The boy was bitten on his left calf and ankle and his right thigh. After being brought onshore he was airlifted to the hospital in Kendall where he is now in stable condition. Medical professionals also do not know what bit him.
The boy does not know what bit him because the water was murky. “The water was murky. Then it was bloody.”
What could it be? I have ideas:
