Shark trackers recently reported that a 1,400-pound, 13-foot great white shark pinged off a Florida beach four times in one day.
On Thursday, data from OSEARCH, a global nonprofit focused on research, revealed that a massive adult shark known as “Breton” was spotted surfacing off Daytona Beach multiple times.
After first “pinging” at 10:51 a.m. Wednesday, Breton pinged on Thursday at 12:37 p.m., 3:55 p.m., 5:30 p.m., and 6:49 p.m., according to data.
When a tagged shark briefly appears at the surface, it triggers a “ping” that is recorded by OSEARCH. These tags are typically affixed to the shark’s dorsal fin for tracking purposes.
According to researchers interviewed by Fox 35 Orlando, North Atlantic great white sharks, like Breton, often migrate from their summer feeding areas to seek out warmer waters with a greater abundance of food.
OSEARCH did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.
