MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WMBF) – Peyton Force is one brave eleven year old.

While swimming close to Pier 14 near downtown Myrtle Beach on Monday, Force was bitten by what a Myrtle Beach Fire Rescue spokesman called an “aquatic animal" but what Peyton's mother Elaine Force says was a shark.

The Wake Forest, N.C. native showed off her sense of humor by posing for this photo at Ripley's Aquarium in Myrtle Beach.

WMBF News reporter Ian Klein spoke with Peyton and her mom today and will have live reports at 7 p.m. and 11 p.m.
