2300 lb Great White shark pings off Kitty Hawk.
Katharine the Shark has been wandering the Atlantic Ocean since 2013 when OCEARCH, a Massachusetts-based shark research and advocacy group, first tagged her. She’s a big girl who disappeared for a while but just pinged from the waters off Kitty Hawk last week. The Charlotte Observer has the story.
“A great white shark pinged off Kitty Hawk on Thursday, much to the relief of researchers who say they hadn’t heard from her since January.
“Thought you’d seen the end of my sassiness did ya?” the 2,300-pound Katharine tweeted Thursday to her 55,700 followers. “Think again … I’m back baby! Enjoying the fine waters off the coast of Kitty Hawk.”
Yes, Katharine has a Twitter account, on which she describes herself as “Misunderstood but sassy girl just tryin’ to get some fish.”
