Yeti, a 960-pound white shark that stretches 11 feet had been spotted off the coasts of Delaware and Virginia Beach.

Ocearch, a shark tracking and research operation, said that Yeti had been tracked on  Nov. 16, off Delaware from a “ping” on a device attached to the shark. After few days, she had pinged off the coast of Virginia Beach.

Experts tagged sharks for research purposes and track them. Ocearch informed that they had received a “ping” when the dorsal fin breaks the water’s surface which sent a signal to a satellite. The transmission sent back a rough location.

Yeti, like anyone with some celebrity recognition, has been having her own Twitter handle “ @YETItheshark”. She had been tagged in Nantucket, Massachusetts, in October.

In October, a white shark named Miss Costa, weighing 1,700 pounds and stretched 12.5 feet, gave off a GPS-tracking signal along Virginia’s coast.

Yeti has been named for one of Ocearch’s partners, YETI Coolers. Researchers said that she was rather active. They called her a “pinger” because she had been known to send several pings in less than 24 hours.
