Pregnant great white shark weighing 2,000-pound swims more than 700 miles away from the northeast US coast to avoid males that want to mate

A pregnant great white shark has swum more than 700 miles out to sea to escape amorous males, researchers have claimed. The 15-foot-long and 2,000lbs female, named Unama'ki, was tagged off the coast of Nova Scotia, Canada, in September last year. Since then she stayed close to the shoreline, taking seven months to meander down to the bay of Mexico. But in April the shark had a change of heart, and powered over more than 1,300 miles out into the Atlantic, at one point turning back on herself, before starting to circle around 300 miles off the coast of Nova Scotia.

If NE US male sharks are like the human males in the area can't really blame her for wanting to get away.

I so glad that they can read a sharks mind.

“The boffins” consulted by “The UK Daily Mail” are really, really smart y’know!

He left the Nationals and went to Japan

BUT should they ever get around to playing ball with audiences, he will probably return for his ring JUST so they can do the bit again or maybe even over the ‘Large screen in the outfield’...

Is Biden visiting Martha’s Vineyard and Mama Shark just wants to make sure she doesn’t get fondled?

I am so glad that they can read a shark’s mind.

Actually, the researchers simply deduced the males’ intentions from their choice of music on their boom boxes: Barry White.

Tracking is interesting but I'd really like to know how often they have to eat and when trekking out 1,300 miles into the Atlantic, was she merely following migrating food sources

[ConservativeMind]

That tracker made her look particularly hot to the male sharks.

This is video of the male sharks and shows why the other shark left.

“they said could lead them to a much-sought great white shark nursery”

Nuke the entire site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.

Sounds like a video for whale porno.

[Right Wing Assault]

Oops! Shark.
