Epaulette sharks are new to me but any wild animal in the 1M/39" range with teeth is a risk. Come to think of it, people are bitten all the time by domestic cats and dogs. Any animal with teeth may not be the best choice for a children's petting zoo.

True, but small cat and dog bites are successfully treated with antiseptic cream and a band aid all the time. Why would a small shark bite be any worse? It's not like she lost a fingertip.

The "I was attacked and bit by a shark" is sooo much more dramatic. They will be known as "shark attack survivor," a story to be told to the neighborhood kids and the grandchildren
