Just How Big is the World’s Largest Great White Shark? (Video)

The world's largest Great White shark was recently electronically tagged off Albany's Middleton Beach in Australia.

The local residents are referring to the female as 'Joan of Shark'. Measuring 16-feet long, she is estimated to weigh over one-and-a-half tons.

Australia's Department of Fisheries heard about the massive shark after reports surfaced about 'Joan of Shark' wondered to close to a popular swimming spot. Albany officials issued a warning to stay out of the water until authorities handled the situation.

Officers from the Department of Fisheries began searching for her. Eventually they located her. Once secured, they flipped her onto her back while she was still in the water in a state known as 'tonic immobility'.

The photo surfacing online shows the officers inserting the electronic tag into her flesh. Once she came to, she was quickly released and reportedly swam out to sea.
