The size of the Mako shark 

Pico, who is 181 lbs, has been swimming off of the Central Florida coastline for days now as the big guy seems to like the warm waters of the Atlantic.

Florida's East Coast is a haven for sharks, with most swimming well out of reach of beachgoers, but some coming close to the shoreline.

Ocearch also tracks dolphins, turtles, and alligators.
