While students pursue sandy beaches in Florida, researchers follow record supreme predator It also moves south for rest.
Candidate, a male white shark of 1,653 pounds, conducted 13 feet, 9 inches, followed by the Florida coast, According to the ocearch. From Thursday morning, the candidate only hit a few kilometers from Sebastian and continues south.

Researchers believe that a candidate, called “Ultimate Ocean Warrior”, is the largest shark that the organization followed, after being marked as he passed Florida-georgia limit in January. The group follows the Conder movements, and at the same time gets biological samples for analysis.
“The spot designation arranged on a candidate will provide valuable information in real time for about five years, helping us to follow his movements and understand his migration patterns,” Ocearch said.
While the candidate is almost 14 feet long, big white sharks can grow up to 21 feet long and weigh as much as 4,500 pounds, According to the national administration of the ocean and atmosphere.
They are scientists They also look at the extra big white color as it passes down the coast. Dold, a 11 -foot shark, 761 pounds, was last seen moving south through Hobe Sound, approximately 100 miles in front of the candidate.
“Dold was named in honor of Dr. Christopher Dold from Seaworld, key figures in the preservation of the ocean,” Ocearch said in a statement. “Dr. Dold influenced the Ocearch Collaborati Science Model, helping to connect the experts to launch shark exploration.”

If predators continue their current paths, the candidate and the Dold will soon pass by Fort Lauderdale and Miami before completing the southernmost points of Sunshine – although their traces are not guaranteed.
“The information we get from the tags give us insight into the movement and behavior of these animals,” Taylor Chapple, Assistant Professor and Big Fish At Fish founder Oregon State Universitysaid Fox News Digital. “This is important for us to understand their role in the oceans – much like we follow the lions of Serengeti to understand how they control the Wildebeest population. They can help us and identify critical places in their lives, such as the key areas of feeding or nurseries where babies grow up.”
Large white sharks are usually indicated by researchers who use darts to attach the tracker, while the animal changes around the ship freely, Chapple states. Although the labels are completely safe for sharks, scientists can also provide vital information.
“The tags even provide depth, temperature and acceleration data – which can detect details of hunting behavior, diving habits and energy use,” for Fox News Digital Digital is forrest Galante, Discovery Channel “Shark Week” and wildlife biologists.

As massive sea animals close at the destinations of spring interruptions in Florida, experts emphasize that sharks attacks follow much lower than average worldwide.
Last year there were only 47 reports of stabs without unprotected sharks and seven confirmed deaths around the world, According to data Published by Florida Museum of Natural History. Of the 28 bites reported in the US in 2024, only one was fatal.
“If you’ve ever been to the ocean, he probably met sharks – you just didn’t know that,” Chapple told Fox News Digital. “If sharks wanted to eat people, there would be a lot less surfers in the water. We just aren’t on their menu.”

While thousands of students are expected to hit the sand along the Florida coast in the coming weeks to celebrate spring restThe candidate is not expected to dampen the muffling on their plans, as both sharks have remained about 40 miles from the beaches.
Be sure, Researchers suggest Swimmers should avoid wearing glossy jewelry, refraining from swimming at dawn or dusk and avoiding the areas where fishermen are present.
“Families with sharks are incredibly rare,” Chapple said. “It is much more likely that you will die of coconut fall or take a selfie from a shark attack on your tropical vacation.”
