Kara, the great white shark, tracked near Vancouver Island again
Kara, a four-metre-long great white shark, was tracked swimming near Vancouver Island again, after being detected last month in the same area. Dr. Michael Domeier detected Kara roughly 90 kilometres south of Vancouver Island, off the coast of Oregon.
Kara, a four-metre-long great white shark, was tracked near Vancouver Island again. Dr. Michael Domeier, director of the Marine Conservation Science Institute, detected Kara roughly 90 kilometres south of Vancouver Island, off the coast of Oregon, on April 25. This is the second time Kara has visited the area in less than two months. Andrew Trites, director of the Marine Mammal Research Unit at the University of British Columbia, believes Kara was feeding at the continental shelf break, where many marine mammals are present. Great white sharks are not uncommon in B.C. waters, and their presence may be influenced by the current El Niño season. Improvements in tracking technology are providing new insights into the movements and habits of great white sharks.
