Nearly 1,400-pound Great White Swims From Maine To Florida As Spring Breakers Hit The Beach

A behemoth great white shark last heard from off the North Atlantic coast is now lurking off the Florida shore.

Named Goodall, the female great white measures  just over 13 feet and weighs nearly 1,400 pounds.

Goodall, whose radio transmitter last pinged just north of Portland, Maine 6 months ago, was spotted pinging about nine miles off Florida on St. Patrick’s Day, marine scientists report.

The huge great white named for wildlife conservationist Jane Goodall was first tagged on September 30 before being released off Nova Scotia.

The razor-toothed giant now joins its shark pack, as the species usually heads south along the east coast to warmer waters during winter.

Just like the spring breakers, sans a margarita.

At last check, Goodall was scanning the surf for a drunken college co-ed it could adopt as an hors d’oeuvre.
