Great White Shark Spotted In Water Near Everglades

A great white shark named George has been spotted off the coast near the Everglades and Gulf of Mexico.

The shark-tracking organization OCEARCH reported Sunday that George was near the edge of Everglades National Park.

George was tagged in October 2016 off the coast of Massachusetts. Since then, he's been spotted near the Atlantic coast from Nova Scotia to South Florida. By Sunday, he had traveled more than 4,500 miles since being tagged.

He was last recorded as 702 pounds and around 10 feet long. OCEARCH chief science adviser Bob Hueter tells The Miami Herald that George probably weighs closer to 1,000 pounds.

As of late Sunday, George appeared to be making his way up Florida's western coast toward Everglades City.
