Mary Lee the great white shark pings off Carolina coast

BUXTON, NC (AP) — A great white shark named Mary Lee has been tracked in the waters off Buxton.

The Virginian-Pilot reports that last week, the shark made famous by the Internet was tracked by Ocearch off the coast of Atlantic City, New Jersey. The tracking site showed that Mary Lee surfaced shortly before 5 a.m. Monday.

For the last few months, the 16-foot shark has been traveling back and forth between the Outer Banks and the New Jersey area.

Since she was tagged at Cape Cod in 2012, the 3,456-pound shark has traveled more than 26,300 miles.

The famous shark even has a twitter handle, interacting with fans and sending out posts from her pings. This summer WWAY interviewed the man behind the page and posts.
