Massive 1,700-pound white shark tracked just off US coast


articleThe latest movement of a nearly 14-foot great white shark has been documented off the coast of Georgia. OCEARCH, a global nonprofit marine research organization that tracks the movement of several sharks, recently announced that a 14-foot adult white shark named Mahone had pinged off the Georgia coast, just south of Savannah. Named after Mahone Bay, the shark, according to OCEARCH, is the largest male shark tagged by the nonprofit in Canadian waters. Since being tagged 695 days ago, OCEARCH continues to document Mahone's travel habits and notes on its website that the white shark has traveled 17,834 miles. Examination of these adult animals, and particularly female white sharks during this time of year, may help us better understand the reproductive cycle for the species," the organization noted.
