Hey kids...
That Great White has ended its vacation off the shores of Cape Cod.
After spending 13 days in the shallows, it was finally led back to open waters by a team of scientists by dragging a huge net behind it.

Surprisingly, the original plan of using electrical currents did not work, and the experts were forced to rely on the timeless method of dragging a large fishing net.
The best part of this whole mess is, the shark was tagged with a satellite tracker, and for the first time, scientists will be able to study the migration patterns of a large Great White in Atlantic Ocean waters.
By the way, the baby Great White at the Monterey Bay Aquarium is still going strong. You can look at her by checking out the web-cam in the outer bay display tank.

She is swimming strongly and is feeding regularly, taking food that is pole-fed to her.
Whether or not she will remain on display for a long period of time remains to be seen, but to my untrained eyes, there is no reason to remove her to an isolated tank where visitors cannot bask in her magnificence.
Until next post, don't take any shit from anybody.
