For the past several weeks, he has been moving northward, with his tracking device pinging multiple times off the coast of South Carolina and North Carolina. On June 11, his tracker pinged just 22 miles off the coast of Cape Hatteras.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>OCEARCH <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DKvExKLu5Rh\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">said in an Instagram post<\/a> that Contender appears to be following standard great white migratory patterns and heading up north for the summer season, and is &#8220;making moves along the Atlantic coast.&#8221; The species spends the winter in warmer, southern waters, OCEARCH said. The sharks then head to &#8220;cooler, more prey-dense waters&#8221; near Canada for the next few months.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/02\/07\/b22b5b11-97a3-4494-8183-03c4c90e8f10\/thumbnail\/620x412\/023264e7995aadde65ec029fa7ac3105\/czugok-1-17-2025-ongoing-field-research-whiteshark-contender-color-adjusted.png?v=d2f497bd9339ad99d2e0559414346698#\" alt=\"czugok-1-17-2025-ongoing-field-research-whiteshark-contender-color-adjusted.png \" height=\"412\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/02\/07\/b22b5b11-97a3-4494-8183-03c4c90e8f10\/thumbnail\/620x412\/023264e7995aadde65ec029fa7ac3105\/czugok-1-17-2025-ongoing-field-research-whiteshark-contender-color-adjusted.png?v=d2f497bd9339ad99d2e0559414346698 1x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">Contender on Jan. 17, 2025.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                OCEARCH<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Outer Banks are a &#8220;common rest stop&#8221; for the species, OCEARCH said, likely because of rich food resources in the area.
