ATLANTIC\u2019S LARGEST MALE GREAT WHITE CONTENDER LIKELY HEADING TOWARD THIS POPULAR SUMMER GETAWAY<\/a><\/p>\n Cross, a juvenile great white shark<\/a>, was tracked moving north through the Gulf of St. Lawrence. His latest ping placed him about 5.5 miles off the coast of Quebec<\/a> in the Honguedo Strait, between the Gasp\u00e9 Peninsula and Anticosti Island.<\/p>\n According to OCEARCH<\/a>, a global nonprofit that studies sharks around the world, Cross traveled about 114 miles in just three days, making him the northernmost shark actively pinging on the OCEARCH Global Shark Tracker<\/a>.<\/p>\n Experts say this is a typical part of the species’ seasonal migration, as great white sharks move north to productive feeding grounds during the summer<\/a> and fall<\/a>.<\/p>\n As temperatures begin to cool in the fall<\/a>, great white sharks<\/a> migrate south in search of warmer waters and abundant food sources for the winter<\/a>. They typically travel<\/a> toward the southeastern U.S.<\/a> and the Caribbean<\/a>.<\/p>\n In an aerial view, a juvenile white shark swims in the clear, shallow water.\u00a0<\/p>\n (Kevin Carter\/Getty Images \/ Getty Images)<\/p>\n Cross was tagged off the coast of Nova Scotia<\/a> in October 2025 during OCEARCH’s ongoing research to better understand how great white sharks use Atlantic Canada’s coastal waters<\/a>.<\/p>\n At the time of tagging, Cross measured 9 feet, 1 inch long.<\/p>\n![\"\"\/](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/gettyimages-2059265284-scaled.jpg\")
