Maybe it’s because I’m named by a watchmaker, the wonderful , that I don’t waste any time. I’m already up and pinging on the Tracker. Just letting you all know that I’m off the coast of Nantucket a little south from where I was tagged. ocearch.org/tracker/?detai

Wow a talking dog! I’d love to meet her since of course I am a talking shark! I wonder what we’d discuss?

These bite wounds were only a few of the incredible observations we made during #ExpeditionNovaScotia. Another cool one was healthy sperm samples from some of the males.

No this is NOT a school of white sharks here of the coast of Maryland. Other fish swim in schools, not us white sharks. There's your schooling for the day.

What an absolutely incredible trip! #ExpeditionNovaScotia went way further than just SPOT-tagging 11 new sharks. Scientists also made some incredible, even historical observations along the way. PRESS RELEASE: bit.ly/35psgDe

Gotta admit, definitely feeling a little left out with all these new pings happening on the Tracker. Gonna double down on getting this stupid pinger of mine working again.

Watch white shark Bluenose’s heart beat! Our science team is getting its first ever look at a beating white shark heart thanks to the generosity of an OCEARCH friend who donated a new ultrasound machine. We estimate it’s beating at about 10 beats per minute. #ExpeditionNovaScotia

Introducing white shark Ferg! He’s 11’ 8” long and named in memory of Ray Ferguson, one of the founders of our incredible partner who recently passed away. He is the 6th white shark of #ExpeditionNovaScotia.

The 4th white shark of #ExpeditionNovaScotia just safely swam off the lift! To our surprise after 3 adults in a row, she was a small 8’ 8” female. The people from Cape Breton call themselves Capers and so we are naming this shark Caper.

Celebrating #SharkWeek by remembering some of our biggest sharks. Keiko, one of the first true behemoths we ever encountered, was tagged in 2008 at Guadalupe Island, MX. She helped improve our technique for handling massive sharks.

Um wait what? Did anyone else catch the name of the boat in this story? Kinda makes you wonder what happened to the “Big Nutz Required I” doesn’t it?

So cool to be tracking @WhiteSharkCabot in the Long Island Sound since as far as we know, it'is unusual for white sharks to visit the area.

Be advised! For the first time ever, we are tracking a white shark in the Long Island Sound. 9’ 8” is just off the shore near Greenwich. Follow him using the browser on any device at ocearch.org

I heard sending a ping from the Long Island Sound had never been done before by a white shark...so naturally I had to visit and send one off.
Hello Greenwich how are you today?!

Watch the fishing team in the first few minutes after a shark is hooked. Teamwork is essential to keeping the animal and each other safe.

hmm...I see they changed the headline on the page title from "terrifying" to "wild" but didn't update the headline on the page itself. Guilty conscious about propagating shark fears maybe?

Yeah I’ve heard the expression “don’t play with your food.” But where’s the fun in that? Just gave the last fish a 15 second head start. Feelin sporty, I think I’ll give the next one 25 seconds.

I’m getting hungry. On the lookout for a good fish or ray. All I’ve seen is a seal with a broken flipper and you know what they say, “Do not eat if seal is broken!” 😂😂🦈🦈
