A massive great white shark pinged off the coast of Florida this week ahead of what is expected to be a very busy spring break at the beaches.

According to OCEARCH's Global Shark Tracker, great white shark Maple pinged on Monday morning southeast of St. George Island, Florida in the Gulf Of Mexico. Maple measures 11-feet, 7 inches long and weighs in at 1,264 pounds.

"Over the past two seasons Maple has spent much of her winter in the Gulf of Mexico."

The birds I feed in my back yard are varied in type. The feeder runs empty sometimes. I go get it and fill it with black oil sunflower seeds. One or two watch me take and fill it. Soon a large number arrive and feed. You don’t suppose Mable talks to Bulls, Tigers, Hammerheads and the sort do you? Are sharks as smart as birds or just hungry. I guess you could send your kids to Mexico, the sharks there are also hunters. Just wondering.

Everything and everyone is smart and sneaky and energetic when it comes to getting fed. If they aren’t, they do not get to live.
