The international organization for the study of large white sharks OCEARCH reported that they discovered the shark thanks to a signal from a special transmitter, which scientists had previously installed on it. The alarm is triggered when the shark's fin emerges from under the water. Shark found near Panama City, Florida.

According to scientists, this case is remarkable because the female of the great white shark swam far to the north of the Gulf of Mexico, and this is a rare phenomenon.

The organization noted that tracking the movement of Miss Costa and other large white sharks will help scientists better understand the movement of sharks in the Gulf of Mexico.

The sensor on Miss Costa installed 23 September 2016, when it was discovered in Nantucket, Massachusetts. Then she was about 3 meters in length. According to scientists, modern white sharks can reach 4-5 meters in length.

The News Journal reports that giant white sharks have already swam into the Gulf of Mexico - a male weighing 107 kilograms, who was named Hilton, and a three-meter female named Savannah weighing 208 kilograms.
