Trackers went 'crazy' over the weekend, says OCEARCH, a marine conservation nonprofit, as great white sharks migrated from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico for the winter.
Cabot, Murdoch, Hal and the others are just a handful of North Atlantic great white sharks currently making their way down the East Coast. It is part of a 2,000-mile journey, which takes them from Nova Scotia to the Gulf of Mexico. Once there, they will join Unama'ki—a 15-foot, 5-inch behemoth who weighs in at more than 2,000 pounds.
"Prior to this year, the earliest we've seen a white shark travel into the Gulf is late December," said OCEARCH in a Facebook post dated November 14.

Some sharks"ping" more than others because they spend more time near the surface.
