It seems like only yesterday when the Monterey Bay Aquarium took in another white shark and the time has come to send him back home.After 137 days in captivity and 600,000 visitors later, this 6 foot 4.5 inch fella was released into the Pacific Ocean yesterday. He enters the record books as the second white shark to be held in captivity for more than 16 days, but the stay was 61 days shorter than his predecessor.
In mid-April his tag will automatically release and send data to scientists so they can track his journey across the globe. The data will be published on TOPP (Tagging of Pacific Pelagic) if you're into that sort of thing.
