A great white shark followed by the research group OCEARCH has been tracked off the coast of North Carolina, nine days after being located off the Orlando, Fla, coast.
The Fayetteville Observer reports the shark, named Hilton, pinged Friday morning roughly 20 miles south-southeast of Bald Head Island. Hilton is fitted with a tag that pings to transmit his location when his fins break the surface.
The Global Shark Tracker indicates that Hilton had traveled 120 miles during the preceding 72 hours. The shark was tagged March 3 by a team working out of Hilton Head Island. OCEARCH says the shark measures 12 feet, 5 inches long and weighs 1,326 pounds.
