A teenager who went for a swim at a Melbourne beach and emerged with his feet covered in blood has stumped marine experts.
Sam Kanizay's legs felt sore after playing a game of football on Saturday, so he decided to soak them at the beach. About 30 minutes later, the 16-year-old walked out of the water with his feet and ankles covered in what looked like hundreds of little pin holes that were bleeding profusely. Upon returning home, his parents promptly took him to the hospital.
Kanizay's father, Jarrod, said hospital staff had no idea what kind of creature could have caused the injuries. So Jarrod went back to the beach the following night with a pool net full of meat and captured the animals he believes could have been responsible. He took a video of dozens of the tiny bug-like creatures chomping on the chunks of meat.
Jeff Weir, executive director of the Dolphin Research Institute, believes the teen may have been attacked by crustaceans called amphipods, which usually eat decomposing plant and animal scraps.

that's some seriously creepy stuff
Crabs are the honey badgers of the sea. Australia is the honey badger of the anglo sphere.
Look at popular beaches from overhead, like from sat imaging, and you'll see sharks just chillin on the outskirts of all the people.
Australia: not even once

I'm surprised there aren't more bugs that just bite chunks out of living people and run off.

Bugs that goes for humans typically just sucks blood. Its fishes that tends to do that and they don't need to be too big to fuck people up.
