Shark trackers recently reported that a 1,400-pound, 13-foot great white shark pinged off a Florida beach four times in one day.

The enormous adult shark, nicknamed “Breton,” surfaced off Daytona Beach four times on Thursday, according to data from OSEARCH, a global nonprofit that collects data for research purposes.

After first “pinging” at 10:51 a.m. Wednesday, Breton pinged on Thursday at 12:37 p.m., 3:55 p.m., 5:30 p.m., and 6:49 p.m., according to data.

A “ping” is recorded when a tagged shark spends a brief period of time at the surface, according to OSEARCH. The tag is attached to the shark’s dorsal fin.

Researchers told affiliate Fox 35 Orlando that North Atlantic great white sharks often leave their summer feeding grounds to enjoy warmer waters and more abundant food sources. 

OSEARCH did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.
