Great White Shark arrived in Cabo

A Great White Shark that spent four months in captivity in Monterey Bay Aquarium arrived to Cabo last week, wearing the electronic tag that had been attached to him last January. Well, at least they think he's out there by Land's End. The device floated to the surface in waters near Cabo and started transmitting. The tag was designed to pop free after 90 days. Researchers will use the help of a satellite to determine the route taken by the shark, the aquatic temperatures through which he passed and the depths through which he moved. The young male Great White was captured last August and housed in a million-gallon tank at Monterey Bay Aquarium. He grew to 6 feet, five inches and 85 kg's by the time of his release.

 No worries for Cabo San Lucas visitors - the most dangerous species you will encounter in Los Cabos is the 2-legged shark.  He is the one you need to watch out for!! if that fellow still hangs out he just wants his peace and an occasional seal or tuna…Surprised
