Like the Energizer Bunny, she keeps going and going and going ...

Well, it's her battery that keeps going — which, we hope, is still attached to her dorsal fin — but nevertheless, Katharine, everyone's favorite great white shark, surfaced again Monday afternoon, this time about 50 miles offshore of Daytona Beach.

For more than a month, Katharine's been swimming up and down Florida's coast, and according to OCEARCH, a great white shark research and advocacy team, Katharine's tracker battery should be close to running out, so researchers there are excited about additional pings. A tracker battery lasts about five years.

OCEARCH tagged Katharine in August 2013 off Cape Cod, Massachusetts. The great white shark was named by Cat Products fans in honor of Katharine Lee Bates, a Cape Cod native and songwriter, best known for her poem and song "America The Beautiful," which has been called "an expression of patriotism at its finest."

On Black Friday, Katharine pinged off the coast of Melbourne, and also brought along a friend, DeMott, a tiger shark. DeMott was tagged by OCEARCH on June 8 in the Gulf Stream near Hilton Head, South Carolina.

Then, less than a week later, Katharine surfaced three times Nov. 28 offshore of Fort Pierce.

Making her way to warmer waters, Katharine surfaced again Dec. 10 offshore of Port Salerno. The next day, she had moved closer to shore, pinging only 9 miles away from the coast in the same south Martin County area.

Katharine's last ping before Monday was Jan. 4 off the north coast of Brevard County near Titusville. Her buddy, Cabot, a 9-foot, 8-inch, 533-pound great white that was tagged Oct. 14 in Nova Scotia, visited with her. Cabot was "named by our partner SeaWorld using suggestions from Nova Scotians after the explorer John Cabot," according to OCEARCH.

Katharine had a pretty active last half of 2018, however, before that, her tracker battery was silent for eight months. She only surfaced once, Jan. 5, pretty far east of Bermuda.

But then, on Sept. 20, just a week after Hurricane Florence made landfall in the Carolinas, Katharine surfaced off the coast of Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. Then she made her way toward Florida, stopping once to surface near Charleston, South Carolina.
