Record -breaking great white shark sighted swimming in Florida Coast

While college students flock to the sandy beaches of Florida, the researchers follow a record tip predator who also goes south.

According to Oceary, the competitor, a 1,653-pound-male white shark with a measurement of 13 feet, 9 inches, is being followed off the coast of Florida. From Thursday morning, the competitor was only a few miles away from Sebastian and continues south.

“The competitor is a significant addition to the ongoing research efforts in the Western North Atlantic to understand the reproductive cycle and the time of breeding in white sharks adult sharks, especially in wintering,” said Dr. Harley Newton, chief scientist and veterinarian, in an explanation of Fox News Digital.

Researchers believe that the competitor “The Ultimate Ocean Warrior” is the largest shark who was persecuted by the organization after being followed on the border between Florida Georgia in January. The group pursues the movements of the competitor and at the same time receive biological samples for analysis.

“The spot day used on the competitor delivers valuable real-time data for about five years to pursue us and understand its migration patterns,” said Ocearch.

While the competitor is almost 14 feet long, large white sharks can grow up to a length of 21 feet and weigh up to £ 4,500. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Scientists also keep an additional large white in the eye because it leads along the coast. Dold, an 11-foot, 761 pound shark, was last seen how he drove south through Hobe sound, about 100 miles in front of the contender.

“Dold is named in honor of Dr. Christopher Dold von Seaworld, a key figure in marine protection,” said Ocearch in an explanation. “Dr. Dold has influenced the Ocearch Collaborative Science model and helped connect experts to promote hai research.”

If the predators continue their current paths, the candidate and Dold will soon come to Fort Lauderdale and Miami before cutting off the southernmost point of the Sunshine State – although their traces are not guaranteed.

“The data we receive from the tags give us an insight into the movement and behavior of these animals,” Taylor Chapple, assistant professor and founder of the Big Fish Lab of Oregon State University, told Fox News Digital. “This is important for us to understand their role in the oceans – similar to how we pursue lions on the Serengeti to understand how to control the forest population.

According to Chapple, typical white sharks are provided with an arrow with an arrow with the attachment of the trackers with the animal by boat to blur the animal on the boat. While the tags are completely safe for the sharks, you can also provide scientists with important information.

“During the day, even depth, temperature and acceleration data – can show the details of hunting behavior, diving habits and energy consumption,” Forrest Galante, a discovery channel “Shark Week” host and wildlife biologist, told Fox News Digital.

When the massive marine animals in Florida's Spring Break destinations in Florida conclude, experts emphasize that shark attacks are moving much lower worldwide than the average.

Last year there were only 47 reports on non -provoked Hairs and seven confirmed deaths worldwide. According to data Published by the Florida Museum of Natural History. Of 28 bite, which was reported in the United States in 2024, only one was fatal.

“If you have ever been to the ocean, a shark has probably come to you – you just didn't know,” Chapple told Fox News Digital. “If sharks wanted to eat people, there would be much fewer surfers in the water. We are simply not on their menu.”

While in the coming weeks it is expected that thousands of students will hit the sand of Florida in the coming weeks, the competitor and Dold will not close their plans, since both sharks are about 40 miles away from the beaches.

Store safely, Researchers suggest Swimmers should avoid wearing shiny jewelry, swimming at dawn or at dusk and avoiding areas where fishermen are present.

“Hai encounters are incredibly rare,” said Chapple. “It is much more likely to die from a falling coconut or take a selfie than a shark attack on your tropical vacation.”
