A Bulgarian woman was hospitalized for a seal bite she incurred off the coast of the Greek island Alonissos in the Northern Sporades on Tuesday, according to greekreporter.com.
A 50-year-old foreign tourist was on a sailboat in the first zone of the Marine Park of Alonissos, near Kyra Panagia island, when she was bitten.
The woman saw the seal swimming and decided to approach it in her boat to see it from close up and pet it. Nevertheless, the wild animal was naturally spooked due to her proximity, and it panicked, attacking her.
