A massive great white shark weighing more than 1,400 pounds was tracked off the coast of North Carolina this weekend. The shark, named Breton by nonprofit marine research group OCEARCH, is 13 feet, 3 inches long. He weighs 1,437 pounds. Breton pinged off Hatteras, North Carolina, OCEARCH said on Monday. Several juvenile sharks have been spotted in the same area recently. "Many of our animals use the productive continental shelf waters around the Outer Banks, NC as a spring staging area before making their migration north for their summer residency," OCEARCH wrote on Facebook.
