A Melbourne adolescent says his legs were shrouded in blood after they were eaten by modest marine animals at a Victorian shoreline.
At the point when Sam Kanizay, 16, felt sore after football on Saturday, he chose to splash his legs at Dendy Street shoreline in Brighton.
After 30 minutes, he exited shrouded in what his family said were minor marine animals eating his legs.
"When he got out, he portrayed having sand on his legs, so he backpedaled in the water," his dad, Jarrod Kanizay, said.
"He backpedaled to his shoes and what he found was blood on his legs. They ate through Sam's skin and made it drain abundantly."

College of New South Wales marine spineless creatures master, Alistair Poore, said he had never observed a case like it.
Poore revealed to Guardian Australia the gnawing more likely than not been caused by a marine invertebrate, in all probability ocean lice. In any case, he said countless lice would be expected to cause such broad dying.
"On the off chance that it is ocean lice, at that point it is an entirely sensational case of it," Poore said.
He said regularly beachgoers mixed up stinging from the remainders of jellyfish appendages with chomps. Be that as it may, Poore said the seeping for this situation showed up excessively serious for that situation.
The youngster's dad couldn't stop the draining and they went to healing center, where staff were at a misfortune to clarify what had happened.
"When we wiped them [his legs] down, they continued dying," he said.
"There was an enormous pool of blood on the floor [at the hospital]. Nobody realizes what the animals are. They've called various individuals, regardless of whether it's poisonous quality specialists or marine applies and different surgeons around Melbourne at any rate... [and[ that is correct, nobody [knows]."
The following night, Kanizay backpedaled to the shoreline with a pool net brimming with meat and caught the animals he said were capable.
"What is truly evident is these easily overlooked details truly adore meat," he said of a video demonstrating the bugs in a plate of water eating up lumps of meat.
