Salty the great white from Massachusetts
This week, divers in Jupiter, Florida came across Salty the Great White shark from Massachusetts. TC Palm reports the approximately 13-foot shark stuck around long enough for divers to snap some photos .
That is white shark 'Salty' (WS12-08). He was 1st tagged off Cape Cod by Capt. Bill Chaprales on 8-8-2012. His tag popped off years ago but I can ID him by his natural markings. If you see a white shark please report it via @sharktivity or tag me in your photo. #WhiteSharkPuzzle pic.twitter.com/4H661MmdEZ
