Scientists have tagged a giant male great white shark off the East Coast. The researchers said "Contender" is the largest male white shark ever caught and studied in the northwest Atlantic.

Video shows a terrified kayaker being stalked for several minutes by a great white shark that approached him in waters off the coast of Northland, New Zealand. The kayak fisherman was identified as Matthew John Patrick Wells by a Fox Weather report.
