A 1,400-pound great white shark nicknamed Betsy has moved off the Louisiana coast, almost due south of Grand Isle, according to Ocearch.org.

The 12-foot, 7-inch female shark was outfitted with a special transmitter in August 2013 near Cape Cod, and has moved nearly 7,000 miles since then. The transmitter sends a ping to an overhead satellite whenever the fish's dorsal fin breaches the surface.

Betsy has been off the Louisiana coast for at least the last 72 hours. Researchers received her latest ping Friday at 6:39 p.m.

Fish are so lucky. They can just move freely wherever they want and whenever they want and have way more room to roam. We're stuck on the sucky arse land masses

Not really. They pretty much have to go where the food is. You can go to whichever sucky arse land mass you want and thrive. Also, fish get eaten by other fish...and me.
