Look out, Lowcountry, there’s a celebrity shark lurking in your waters.

Mary Lee, a great white shark who happens to have more than 100,000 Twitter followers, pinged her location on Sept. 24 about 20 miles off shore between Beaufort and Charleston, according to OCEARCH tracking.

Mary Lee is a massive 16-foot, 3,500-pound shark that has repeatedly pinged her location around Lowcountry since she was originally tagged by OCEACH in 2012.

According to OCEARCH tracking, Mary Lee has been spotted between the Georgia and South Carolina coast since early September. She pinged her location around the Tybee Island area Sept. 9.
