Giant great white shark nears Nantucket

A 1,653-pound great white shark, nicknamed Contender, has been tracked swimming just off Nantucket’s coast—making waves among locals and vacationers alike. At nearly 14 feet long, Contender is the largest Atlantic great white ever tagged by researchers, and his movements are being closely followed via OCEARCH’s public shark tracker. He was first tagged near Florida and has made his way up the East Coast, now lurking between Georges Bank and Nantucket Shoals. This real-time tracking isn’t just fascinating—it’s helping scientists learn more about shark migration and ocean health. How do you feel about sharing the water with such a massive neighbor? #Pets #Nantucket #GreatWhiteShark

Cape Cod’s massive great white visitor

A 13-foot, 1,653-pound great white shark named Contender is making waves off Cape Cod, right where summer crowds flock for beach days. OCEARCH’s latest tracking shows this ocean giant cruising near Nantucket Sound—eerily close to the spot where Jaws was filmed! Shark sightings aren’t rare here, but Contender’s size is next-level. Scientists are using his journey to learn more about shark migration and behavior. With over 700 great whites documented in the area, it’s wild to think how much we still have to discover. Would knowing a shark this size is nearby change your beach plans? #Science #CapeCod #GreatWhiteShark

Why Great Whites Can't Survive Aquariums

Ever wondered why you never see great white sharks in aquariums? Turns out, it’s not their size or their bite—it’s because captivity is basically a death sentence for them. These ocean giants need to swim nonstop to breathe, and tanks just mess with their instincts. Even the best attempts ended with sharks getting stressed, injured, or dying soon after release. Wild, right? Guess we’ll have to stick to Shark Week for our great white fix! #Science #GreatWhiteShark #AquariumFacts

Giant Shark Spotted Near Busy Beaches!

Imagine chilling at the beach and knowing a 14-foot great white shark named Contender is cruising nearby! This massive shark, tracked by OCEARCH, just popped up off North Carolina after vanishing for a bit—he’s already swum nearly 1,900 miles this year. Experts say it’s rare for him to come super close, but it’s not impossible, especially if his favorite snacks (like seals) are around. Beach season just got a little more thrilling! #GreatWhiteShark #BeachLife #SummerVibes #Pets

Giant Shark Spotted Near Popular Beaches!

World’s biggest great white shark, nicknamed 'Contender,' is cruising toward some of the East Coast’s favorite beaches after swimming 1,870 miles! Scientists say he’s massive—almost 14 feet and 1,653 pounds—and while it’s rare, he could pop up near swimmers if his favorite snacks (like seals) come close to shore. If you’re hitting the beach this summer, maybe keep an eye out for fins and use some common sense! Would you still go for a swim? #GreatWhiteShark #BeachLife #SharkWatch #Science
