Researchers are saying that great white sharks have begun their long migration from Canada and have been heading toward South Florida’s coast.
During the summer months in Nova Scotia, Ocearch was able to catch and tag 11 white sharks, which they now can track their migration as they head toward Florida.
While some of the Canadian white sharks have been reported around the Carolinas, a 1,124-pound male named Sydney has surfaced near Daytona Beach just a few weeks back.
While great white sharks are extremely large and quite terrifying to some thanks in large part to movies like Jaws and Sharknado, the International Shark Attack File in Gainesville notes that no one in Florida has been attacked by one.
