A massive great white shark named Breton pinged off of Daytona Beach, Florida multiple times over the weekend, according to data from the nonprofit Ocearch.

The 13-foot, 1,400-pound beast of a shark left Newfoundland, Canada in early November beginning its journey along the East Coast toward the Sunshine State.

Breton has traveled more than 40,000 miles since he was tagged by Ocearch four years ago.
