Giant great white shark named Ironbound spotted migrating off South Carolina coast, tracked 15,000 miles since 2019

Ironbound, a 12-foot, 4-inch great white shark, was tracked swimming off South Carolina, the latest stop in its annual migration along the East Coast.
Ironbound was first tagged in 2019 in Nova Scotia and has traveled over 15,000 miles since, venturing as far south as the Gulf of Mexico.
Scientists are studying Ironbound and other great whites to better understand their mating and movement patterns, though little is still known about the solitary predators.
While great white sharks typically spend summers and falls in northern areas and winters in southern waters, some individuals like Ironbound stray from the typical migration route.
Though great white sharks are found around the world, they pose little threat to humans and prefer the waters of temperate regions.
