What attacked woman off Cayman Islands beach? It may have been a barracuda, experts say, but it may have been a shark also.

A tourist was attacked off a Cayman Islands beach, and authorities believe it may have been a rare barracuda ambush.

The victim — identified only as “an elderly woman” — was hospitalized for a bite on her right arm, the Cayman Islands Department of Environment said in a news release.

Details of her condition were not released.

It happened Monday, Jan. 24, as she swam that morning off 7 Mile Beach near the Colonial Club Condos, officials said. The beach is on the west side of Grand Cayman and “attracts travelers from all over the world,” according to Cayman Islands tourism officials.
