2 Massive Great White Sharks Weighing As Much As a Polar Bear Each Found Swimming Off the Coast of Canada
AZ Animals ^ | 16/8/23

Around a dozen sharks are currently regularly pinging off the coastlines of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island, according to the Ocearch Shark Tracker website. Two of these huge animals have pinged their location near Prince Edward Island in Canada in summer of 2023.

Let’s introduce you to the main characters of this story. First we have a shark named Breton. Breton received his name after the beautiful people of Cape Breton, where the animal was tagged.

He was the first shark to be tagged as part of OCEARCH’s Expedition Nova Scotia in 2020. The adult male shark measures approximately 13 feet long and weighs roughly 1,437 pounds. Another massive great white shark Ocearch keeps track of that has appeared around Prince Edward Island around the same time is called Ironbound.

He is a great white shark that measures 12 feet, four inches in length, and he is quite evasive. The male shark, which weighs over half a ton, was first tagged in Nova Scotia in autumn of 2019.

A ping happens when the shark’s dorsal fin’s location tag stays above water for roughly 90 seconds. When this happens, a satellite detects it and updates the shark’s latest location.

“Weighing as much as a polar bear”

Is this some kind of Canadian weight and measurement?

“Ah, she was a big one. Weighed a polar bear and a half, plus at least two beavers and large serving of poutine.”

I’ve gotten used to digital and it’s generally superior but vinyl has its points and Sinatra would be one of them.

Is another folk singer

They should put a great white, a polar bear, and Krispie in a big tank of water and donuts, and see who wins.

I wonder what kind of social justice her cat would get if it ate her guinea pigs.
Her whole thang reminded me of Beetlejuice's interview before he got the job of getting rid of the Deetz family. Checking off all the boxes. Supervised she didn't mention if she had an EV.

Interesting, that link...not particularly for the content, but for the plain access to it. Had to connect my VPN to a few EU countries which did not allow access to the channel, until the non-EU Switzerland node came through.

Hmm, is the EU an oppressive tyranny? Why yes, it is!

I have some Canadian polar bears. They each weighs an ounce.

Bitchute i think it's based out of Thailand. Ray the owner had to leave Great Britain in order to continue to operate. He is still having banks closing his accounts. Even know he does remove content that is asked to be removed.

Still the best video site in my opinion. Though the *fake Nazi's* target Bitchute and Gab.

That’s an AI-enhanced photo.

The angle of her right wrist is mangled.

I saw pictures online and she’s a little heavier in real life with a chest tattoo.

Ya. Looking closer I see the wrist bent. As far as heavier and tats, figures.

That guinea pig wasn’t sharing its wealth of protein.

She bared her chest to the Internet?!

Remind me to gouge my eyes out if I ever see that.

Lol, won’t happen. I don’t go to the beach. But, I do enjoy Shark Week. Apparently, Deep Blue, which is famous and tracked, is about 21 feet long. And is the largest White recorded so far.

The tat (it’s a string of words) is in a PG-13 location.

During the Little Ice Age, polar bears swam from Greenland (apparently) to Iceland to warm up, inconveniencing the local Viking descendants.
