Did a Greenpeace Activist Get His Arm Bitten Off After Hugging a Great White Shark?

On 1 February 2018, World News Daily Report published a news article starring Greenpeace activist, 21 year-old Darrell Waterford from Eugene, Oregon. The story claims that Waterford got his arm bitten off after a shark attack following his attempt to hug a Great White Shark in the Indian Ocean. According to many different opinions, "World News Daily Report has a well-known history of publishing misinformation." This story is no exception, it is fake! Interestingly enough, the photo the hoax website used for the story was actually a young man who had been attacked by an alligator in Florida. Maybe he happens to be a Greenpeace activist?
