12-foot great white Ernst tracked off Montauk as even bigger Contender heads north
A 12-foot, 1,009-pound female great white named Ernst has been tracked off Montauk, moving north toward Cape Cod, with researchers suggesting an even larger great white, Contender, may be following along the East Coast, potentially passing by Long Island this summer and prompting increased shark patrols amid rising sightings and bites.
