Watch: Cape Cod shark researchers share video footage from the perspective of a great white
The Atlantic White Shark Conservancy shared the footage from a camera tag on a 14-foot, 2,800-pound white shark named LeeBeth.
The Atlantic White Shark Conservancy is sharing what it looks like to swim through the ocean from the point of view of a great white.
Earlier this month, the Cape Cod shark research non-profit posted footage from the camera tag on a 14-foot, 2,800 pound white shark named LeeBeth. The Conservancy tagged LeeBeth with the camera, designed to record the shark’s movements for a few days and then detach, in December.
“Look at the beautiful blue water!” the researchers wrote of the footage on the platform X, formally known as Twitter. “What’s exciting is that this is the first time a camera tag has been deployed on a white shark off the southeast coast of the United States.”
Researchers are using the footage to learn more about the shark’s daily habits.
