Great White Shark
You wouldn’t want to be caught in the middle of a great white shark migration. They engage in long-distance migrations across vast ocean basins. Some sharks will travel thousands of miles between their breeding and feeding areas. They’re usually found off the coast of California during the summer and fall and then migrate to Hawaii when the water on the Californian coast gets colder.
One baffling fact about this migration is that the sharks usually migrate alone. Researcher Robert Hunter said, “Social behavior in sharks is something that’s not particularly well-known. And it’s not thought to be something that they have much of, except in maybe isolated cases of certain species.” By tracking specific sharks, researchers can make assumptions about the rest of the species, as this one scientist did in particular (Washington Post).
