I'm fascinated by these tracking devices

, it's amazing how they can give us insights into the life cycles of such incredible creatures like great whites. The fact that Contender has been tracked for years now is insane, 32 years old and still swimming strong!

His journey highlights just how much we can learn from technology and collaboration between scientists and the public.
I'm also intrigued by how this data helps us understand their migration patterns and feeding habits. It's like having a virtual map of these amazing animals' movements over time. And what's crazy is that Earnst, another tagged shark, was thousands of miles away when her location was pinged

. It just goes to show how much we still have to learn about our ocean's inhabitants.
I've been following this organization Ocearch for a while now, and it's incredible to see the impact their work has on our understanding of great whites. It's not just about tracking these amazing animals; it's about raising awareness about conservation efforts and promoting a greater appreciation for these incredible creatures
