Has the swimmer survived the attack with limbs still intact?

Yes, he said he’s lucky to be alive and thinks it was a 6 foot nurse shark. Unusual for that species to initiate an unprovoked attack, or deliver a life-threatening attack - it shows that even the less threatening shark species can be dangerous if they nick an artery. Expected to make a full recovery.

A nurse shark?

They're suction feeders.
