<b>HATTERAS, N.C.</b> — A great white shark named Breton has been tracked to the Outer Banks, off the coast of North Carolina.

According to the nonprofit OCEARCH, Breton is a mature male shark that is 13 feet, 3 inches long and weighs 1,437 pounds. The organization has tracked Breton since Sept. 11, 2020, when researchers measured and tagged the shark before releasing him back into the ocean.

Breton is not the only great white in the Carolina waters right now. According to <a href="https://www.ocearch.org/tracker/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ocearch's shark tracker</a>, at least six great whites totaling 3,500 pounds were pinged off the coast, including Breton.
