A 12-year-old girl who was mauled by a shark has shown incredible strength by giving emergency workers a smile and thumbs up after the attack.
Melbourne schoolgirl Hannah Papps, 12, was savaged by a shark near Whitsunday Island in Queensland on Thursday and had to be airlifted to the Mackay Base Hospital.
The attack came just 24 hours after Tasmanian tourist Justine Barwick was attacked by a shark nearby.
The shark tore a large piece of flesh from Hannah's upper thigh, and she is still in a critical condition after being airlifted from the beach by CQ CareFlight paramedics.
Her rescuers told the Herald Sun about the moment they loaded her into the air craft and she gave them a smile and a thumbs up.
RACQ Central Queensland helicopter crewman Ben McCauley said it was always difficult for everyone when the victim of an incident was a child but she showed strength beyond her years.

The second attack came just 24 hours after a Tasmanian woman Justine Barwick (pictured) had been attacked by a shark nearby.
'I'd describe them as strong willed, they wanted to survive. You could see that they wanted to live. They were doing everything they can to stay with us, to keep alert, answering our question,' he said.
Hannah's family released a statement praising the efforts of everyone involved in the recuse mission, The Australian reported.
'We would like to thank everyone who has helped and cared for Hannah, including the police, emergency services and the hospital teams,' they said.
'We ask that everyone, including the media, please respect our family's privacy during this very difficult time so we can focus our energies on Hannah's recovery.'

'Why? You possibly got the wrong sharks. It’s their playground not ours,' one user wrote.
'And how did they know they were the 'guilty' ones,' another added.
'That'll send a clear message through the shark community,' another Facebook user wrote.
A spokesman for the Humane Society International told The Australian they wanted to see new 'non-lethal measures to protect ocean users' introduced.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
