A colossal 1,400-pound great white shark was detected near a Florida beach, sending out signals four times in just one day.

Shark trackers recently reported that a 1,400-pound, 13-foot great white shark pinged off a Florida beach four times in one day.

The enormous adult shark, nicknamed "Breton," surfaced off Daytona Beach four times on Thursday, according to data from OSEARCH, a global nonprofit that collects data for research purposes.

Following the initial "ping" at 10:51 a.m. on Wednesday, Breton sent out additional pings on Thursday at 12:37 p.m., 3:55 p.m., 5:30 p.m., and 6:49 p.m., as reported by the data.

A "ping" is recorded when a tagged shark spends a brief period of time at the surface, according to OSEARCH. The tag is attached to the shark's dorsal fin.

Breton continued traveling west on Friday and Saturday, with his most recent ping being in the Blake Plaeau, according to OCEARH.

As per the tracker, Breton has covered almost 139 miles over the past 72 hours.

He left the coast of Newfoundland in early November, making his way to Florida. 

According to his biography, he was the inaugural shark to be tagged during OCEARCH's Expedition Nova Scotia in 2020, and he is named after Cape Breton, the location where researchers discovered him. In the past four and a half years, he has journeyed over 41,000 miles.

Breton is the fifth shark that OSEARCH has tagged at Scatarie Island during their two-year research in the region, indicating that white sharks might have a consistent presence, as per OSEARCH's findings.

Researchers told affiliate Fox 35 Orlando that North Atlantic great white sharks often leave their summer feeding grounds to enjoy warmer waters and more abundant food sources. 

OSEARCH has yet to provide a response to Fox News Digital's request for comments.
