A 14 legs, 2.600 pound great white shark has showed up south of New Orleans, La. just a few yards from the South Pass neighborhood.
” LeeBeth”, was fitted with an Atlantic White Shark Conservancy satellite tag by Capt. Device Michalove off the shoreline of South Carolina Dec. 8, 2023.
This enormous shark has since made an incredible journey from the Atlantic to South Padre Island, near the Texas/Mexico border, to the Texas/Louisiana boundary north of Sabine Pass, and now is located in the Mississippi River Delta region.

Not just one great bright has come to the area this year. She is not the only great light.
” Crystal” and” Keji”, both great whites tagged by research group Ocearch showed up in the same general area in January.
Great white sharks in the Gulf of Mexico are a part of their local range, despite their strange appearance.
