Mauricio Hoyos Padilla, a shark conservationist working for Discovery's "Shark Week," shot jaw-dropping footage of the massive creature off Mexico's Guadalupe Island in 2013. It's thought that she could be more than 50 years old. Her name is Deep Blue and, at an estimated 20 feet long and possibly still growing, she's widely considered to be among the largest great white sharks ever caught on camera. LOS ANGELES - The average great white shark clocks in between 11 and 15 feet long, but one great white spotted just a few times in recent years blows her brothers and sisters out of the water. We can only hope this represents growing public support for these amazing animals, and scientists like Padilla who work so hard to protect them.Deep Blue, a 20-foot great white shark spotted off the coast of Guadalupe Island, is widely considered to be among the biggest great white sharks ever filmed. The video, which was shot in late 2013, has been viewed over 300,000 times in just a few days, and it seems that people are just as amazed by it as they were with the first one. Padilla and his team hope to better understand the migration patterns and nursing grounds of these huge animals so enforcement can be placed in the most crucial zones.
The unique thing about this particular shark is that she was likely pregnant when discovered. With massive fins and razor-sharp teeth, it was quite an astonishing discovery for marine biologists. The underwater video footage taken by divers is thought to have captured one of the largest great whites ever caught on film. Deep Blue, who comes in at 20-feet long, eight feet high, and 2.5 tons, is the largest Great White shark ever photographed. The great white shark is more than 20-feet-long and is believed to be at least 50-years-old.
Great whites are protected in the area, but that doesn't mean these sharks are out of hot water. Tara Dodrill Deep Blue is a massive great white shark that was found off Guadalupe Island. Get ready for up close encounters with these gigantic and beautiful apex predators in crystal clear blue water with visibility regularly reaching upwards of 35+ meters (115+ feet). Not to mention pregnant females are often accidentally targeted by sport fisherman, as they're often the biggest fish around.

"Baby sharks are particularly vulnerable to getting stuck in shallow water lines or nets," he says. THIS is the terrifying moment divers came face to face with one of the world’s biggest great white sharks. Named Deep Blue, the female shark made a colossal impression in video clips shared on Facebook by shark researcher Mauricio Hoyos Padilla, director of Pelagios-Kakunjá A.C., a nonprofit.

Padilla explains that the inshore waters that are full of food and free of predators (perfect for tiny shark pups) are also dangerous in terms of fishing pressures. We've seen several pregnant females like, but now there is a new challenge: protecting the pups." "A shark of this size is likely 50 years old, and that tells us that conservation efforts are really working. "When I first saw Deep Blue, I thought one thing: hope," he says. Perhaps nobody is more excited by "Part 2" than local researcher Mauricio Hoyos Padilla, who posted the clip on his Facebook page.
