Hell's Bay, a mako shark, sets a record - travels 20,900-Km in 600 days

Hell's Bay is the name of a mako shark that has set a record - it traveled 20,900-Km in 600 days. That is half way around the Earth. This shark has been dubbed 'Energizer Bunny' because his travels had taken him around the east coast of the US.
This has been discovered by researchers at Florida's Nova Southeastern University. They had tagged and tracked the finned creature from May 2015.
This has been reported in nzherald.co.nz dated 28 January 2017.

Hell's Bay was first tagged off the coast of Ocean City in Maryland. He then went on the first half of his journey which took him north along the eastern seaboard. After that, he returned near the original tagging site and then spent 2016 passing throughout the Atlantic, on to Nova Scotia, Bermuda and finally heading back to Ocean City.
These mako sharks are excellent swimmers and can attain sustained speeds of 35 km/h with bursts to over 80 km/h. They can grow to be around four metres in length and weigh over 500-Kg.
