This is the harrowing moment a giant fish attacks a mermaid performer

This is the harrowing moment a giant fish attacks a mermaid performer's face in front of terrified children at the Xishuangbanna Primitive Forest Park, in China.

The 'mermaid', known as 22-year-old Russian performer Masha, is seen in an aquarium tank gliding through the water but as she slowly moves to the surface a giant creature bobs above her head.

It then clasps its huge jaws around her face which caused people watching to scream in terror. Masha manages to break free within seconds and quickly surfaces.

The animal reportedly ate Masha's goggles and nose clips, and wounded her head, neck and eye, according to reports.
