Description
A 14-foot-long great white shark might not be something swimmers want to see at the beach.
But scientists say one of the big carnivores has been tracked further into the Gulf of Mexico than any white shark they've ever tagged before.
The epic journey of the shark, nicknamed LeeBeth, can provide valuable clues to help the species.
She's traveled more than 2,000 miles into the western Gulf of Mexico since she was first tagged off South Carolina.
Scientists are curious where she'll go next.
