Great whites in Florida


Florida right now is surrounded by massive Great White sharks..Surrounded by some of the most beautiful waters Florida is now home to some of the largest Great White sharks..In the ocean off of the Florida Coast line there is a ton of marine life to be seen , but the most impressive is the Great White sharks that have made their home there now..The ocean current and the appeal of the warm salty waters have drawn these massive predators of the deep.The ones who inhabit these waters all have names because they already have been tagged ...Tagging a shark is the only way Biologists have to identify a certain shark and study its hunting and travelling paths..
1 : Miss Costa
Great White female weighing in at a whopping 1668 pounds she is an impressive 12.ft 5 in long she is currently just off the coast of Key West last ping was march 19th 2019 ..she was named after Costa sunglasses who is a partner with OSearch
2:Nova
Great White adult male who was named in honor of the residents of Nova Scotia Canada where he was first spotted and tagged..He weighs in at 1186 pounds and is 11 ft 6 in long .he was pinged swimming with Miss Costa march 8 2019
3: Cabot
A small sub adult Great White was last spotted playing off in the Gulf of Mexico Not far from Miss Costa and Nova ..this little guy is only 9 ft 8 in long and weighs in at 533 pounds ..SeaWorld chose the name when he was caught and tagged naming him after the explorer John Cabot
4: Hal
Hal is an adult male Great White and is partial to the eastern side of the Sunshine State he was last pinged on March 19th 2019 .This big boy weighs in at 1420 pounds and is 12 ft 6 in long ...He currently now swims off of the Coast of Daytona Beach his name is in tribute to Halifax Nova Scotia where he was caught and tagged..
5: Katherine
Last but certainly not least is this hugh female Great White who can be found near West Palm beach ...Katherine is the largest female shark to be caught and tagged ..Katherine weighs in at 2000 pounds and is a 14 ft 2 in powerhouse of muscle and killing machine she was pinged February 29th 2019 ..Katherine likes deep water .
Seems the Ocean has a vast number of its own Great White sharks and we only have these few to go by in size , impressive yes, but larger sharks have been seen but stay elusive to capture and tag...OSearch has their own website with more pics of the sharks that was caught and tagged ....www.ocearch.org

Great Whites are amazing creatures and impressive predators. We have our fair share of them on the West Coast too. The colder waters of Northern California seem to be their preferred habitat, although they migrate back and forth apparently. The fatter, tastier prey (sea lions, elephant seals) are far more abundant in the areas around San Francisco Bay. Great Whites really don't like the taste of humans. The danger is in getting mistaken as dinner. Surfers wearing black wetsuits look just like something that's been on their diet for ages.

they are amazing creatures true enough..I know you have them on the West coast and a lot of the bigger ones for some reason hang here around Nova Scotia for some reason or another Our oceans are very clean but maybe that attracts their natural prey not sure why ..the biggest ones are tagged here and venture elsewhere ..the hunting grounds are wherever the seals are mostly ...we get a lot of seals passing by..maybe that's it..thanks

I was surfing the community pages expecting to be amused, maybe even titillated, but not educated! Just as you never know what's in the water, nor did I expect to find such an interesting blog - thanks, keep up the good work!
