Great White Shark tagged off South Carolina last year shows up in Gulf of Mexico
Hilton, the 12-foot 1,326 pound great white shark that was tagged by Ocearch off Hilton Head, South Carolina in March of last year, just showed up in the Gulf of Mexico. However, the resulting path of the “Twitter famous” shark showed him traveling across the Florida panhandle to reach said location. Followers on social media had a lot to say about the tracking, which has made the shark even more infamous. Scientists believe the relatively small male shark may have moved to the Gulf of Mexico to take advantage of the warmer water and abundant deepwater fish.
