Since he was tagged last October, Ironbound has traveled over 2,700 miles.
A great white shark known as Ironbound has returned to the waters around the Florida Keys for the second time in just a few months—a move that has puzzled researchers.
Since then, data indicates that the nearly-thousand-pound male has traveled more than 2,700 miles, a journey that has included two separate trips to the Florida Keys. According to OCEARCH, which collects data on shark movements, this type of behavior is not usually seen among the great whites they monitor.
"The Gulf of Mexico is a highly productive area full of life that we suspect offers white sharks abundant opportunities for feeding," Fischer said."We tend to see most of their activity focused along the edge of the continental shelf about 100 miles west of the Florida Gulf coast."
