The shark named Maple was pinged on Monday morning southeast of St. George Island, Florida, in the Gulf of Mexico.The distinctive bite wound on the left side of the shark possibly came from a fight with a larger great white.In the last two winter seasons, Maple has spent a large portion of her time off the gulf coast.OCEARCH said Maple can be identified by a distinctive bite wound on the left side of her body, which they believe came from a fight with an even larger great white.
The organization has been tracking the shark since she was first tagged off the coast of Nova Scotia in September 2001. She gets her name from the Maple Leaf — one of the national emblems of Canada.
