Another shark attack in French Polynesia

Papeete: A woman was attacked by a shark in Bora Bora, French Polynesia, over the weekend.

While not deadly, this is the second shark attack in the archipelago in just two weeks, although there are reports of a third.

The La Premiere news agency reports the woman, who was a tourist, was bitten on the hand while taking a boat ride near Motu Tapu Islet, a popular touristic hot spot.

It is not known what species of shark it was.

On April 30, a bodyboarder was attacked by what he believed to be a Tiger shark on the west coast of Tahiti.
