Massive Great White Shark Located Off The Coast of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
A massive 8 foot 400 pound shark paid a visit to the coastline of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina on Tuesday. Ocean researchers detected his visit with a “ping”. This wasn’t the first time scientists have had their eye on this big boy.
Ocean researchers are familiar with “Jekyll” and he is getting around. Last month they monitored him traveling along the Georgia/ Florida coastline. To learn more get all the details from Channel 9.
I mean we really should not be alarmed or surprised by this, it is their habitat after all. Anytime you go in another creatures habitat you might just be closer than you want to be for your own safety.
I bet tracking sharks is fun and enlightening . Want to keep an eye on Jekyll and other tagged sharks? Get details here from Ocearch.
