"There are currently no laws to protect sharks from being killed" except for a ban on killing them for their fins," she wrote in a statement. Recent estimates suggest that this infamous female shark is over 20 feet long and weighs around 4,500 pounds Experts believe that Deep Blue is probably around 50 years old, so she may still have many more years of life ahead of her. Shark populations around Hawaii have been declining for years, and Ramsey said she hopes Deep Blue's moment in the spotlight will also shine a light on much-needed shark protection legislation.

Regardless, Lowe said tagging data indicate three female sharks have been recorded feasting on the "floating buffet" that is the dead sperm whale carcass off Oahu. "Nobody knows for sure why they do it," Lowe continued, explaining that Deep Blue was spotted off the coast of California over a year ago.Īccording to tracking data, the female sharks typically return to the West Coast - either Baja California, Mexico or California - in the early spring to deliver their pups. Additionally, Lowe said it makes sense that it would be Deep Blue because "female sharks usually swim out to the middle of the Pacific, sometimes as far out as Hawaii, for two years before they come back to California or Mexico to have their pups."
