A 14-Foot Shark Is Crashing Beach Season

Just when you thought it was safe to grab your pool noodle—turns out the largest great white shark ever tagged in the Atlantic is chilling right off North Carolina’s tourist-packed coast. This 1,653-pound beast, nicknamed Contender, just resurfaced after a month-long vanishing act and is apparently snacking near the Outer Banks before heading north. Scientists are tracking his every move, and honestly, I’ll be rethinking my next swim. Who knew shark migration season was this dramatic? #GreatWhiteShark #SharkWatch #OuterBanks #Science
