Massive great white shark resurfaces off North Carolina coast

Perhaps the big fish is visiting for the upcoming 50th birthday of 'Jaws,' the upcoming July 4 holiday, or it is just plain migrating north.

Whatever the reason, the Atlantic Ocean's largest tagged great white shark on record resurfaced off the coast of North Carolina, just off the Outer Banks near Cape Hatteras, this week, scientists said

At nearly 14 feet in length, "Contender," a great white male shark is "making moves along the Atlantic coast, giving us more valuable data on the lives of white sharks in the Northwest Atlantic," OCEARCH, a global non-profit marine research group tracking shark sightings and migration wrote on social media.

Researchers first tagged Contender in January off the Florida-Georgia coast, as previously reported by USA TODAY.
