Luna, Caroline, Jane and Katherine: the four huge white sharks that keep the Carolinas in suspense

A team of marine scientists follows and monitors four white sharks of great size who besieged for days the coasts of the states of North Carolina and South Carolina.

According to the non-profit organization OCEARCH, the largest white shark tracker he has ever recorded was activated on Monday to alert them that the animal was 140 kilometers southeast of Charleston, the second most populous city in South Carolina.

This is Luna, a female who was caught and tagged in October 2018 to monitor her position. For a week now, he has traveled the coast of the state, which is disturbing given that he measures more than 4.5 meters long and weighs nearly 1,000 kilos.

Luna did not just bother the researchers. Three others colossal white sharks They approached the coast of the two Carolinas.

"In our studies, we tagged about 43 sharks, and six of the biggest ones are in the vicinity of the Carolinas ", said Friday Dr. Robert Hueter in an interview with the US network CBS News

Since OCEARCH began research in 2007, Luna is the largest shark in its history. But in addition to her, Caroline is also walking in South Carolina. Monday it was located near the beach of Edisto, reported Fox Carolina It measures 3.65 meters.

Luna and Caroline joined by Jane, another female white shark who appeared on Thursday on the Buxton coast, in North Carolina. Jane is a little smaller than the previous ones, with a length of three meters and 236 kilos.

Katherine is also close to Charleston and Georgetown, according to her tracker. This specimen measures 4.20 meters and weighs even more than Luna, 1.043 kilograms.

As explained by dr. Robert Heuters bathers have nothing to worry about because none of these four sharks swim near the beach.
