A famous 13-foot-long great white shark has been tracked near Bodie Island, just off the coast of Albemarle Sound near the North Carolina/Virginia border.

Breton, the 1,400-pound great white, can be seen moving northward along the East Coast via research nonprofit Ocearch's tracking platform. As of Tuesday, Breton was moving into waters about 40 miles off Virginia, previously pinging off North Carolina's Pamlico Sound on August 6 and deeper waters off the South Carolina coast on August 2. On June 6, he was tracked as far south as Port St. Lucie in Florida.
