Breton the 1,400-pound great white surprises scientists by heading south off Florida
Breton, a 1,400-pound great white tracked by OCEARCH since 2020, surprised scientists by moving south to the eastern Florida coast during summer, with a ping in unusually warm surface water around 87°F. Researchers believe he may be chasing pelagic prey and note that white sharks often dive to cooler depths, underscoring the species’ complex and less-predictable migration patterns.
