Celebrity great white shark signals he’s still off Nova Scotia coast
HALIFAX — Hilton, a celebrity shark whose travels have captivated Nova Scotians, has extended his summer vacation off the province’s coast.
The 600-kilogram great white — tagged by the research group Ocearch in March in South Carolina — signalled four times on Thursday that he is still near Lunenburg, N.S.
Hilton first appeared on Nova Scotia’s south shore in early August, charming locals with a wry Twitter feed chronicling his movements, but hadn’t pinged since Aug. 23.
“*PING* Nova Scotia is still the place to be!” he tweeted Thursday night.
