Great white shark named ‘Jules’ after Julian Edelman
“Like [Julian Edelman], he dropped his coverage and his squirrelly behavior made it hard to get a new tag in him.”
A great white shark is now named after Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman.The Atlantic White Shark Conservancy tweeted Friday that the “reliable” shark was originally tagged in 2011.“Like [Julian Edelman], he dropped his coverage and his squirrelly behavior made it hard to get a new tag in him,” the conservancy said.Jules was successfully retagged — and named — earlier this week.
Meet Jules! Originally tagged in 2011 and unamed until now, he’s one of our most reliable sharks—returning every year since. Like @Edelman11, he dropped his coverage and his squirrelly behavior made it hard to get a new tag in him. Hard work pays off, and he was retagged Tuesday. pic.twitter.com/8FK5ayOPsn
