A 1,600-pound shark was tracked off the coast of Nantucket on Wednesday, July 6.
Scot, the 12-foot-long white shark, "pinged" in George's Bank around 11:20 a.m., according to shark research group OCEARCH. A "ping" happens when an animal tag breaks the surface of the water, sending data.

Scot apparently swam nearly 500 miles since July 1, when he was tracked off the coast of Ocean City, MD.
