A 10-foot great white shark was seen via a wildlife tracking system swimming off the coast of Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort.
Cayo, a 10-foot-long, 689-pound female shark, sent out a 'Z-ping' near the president's beachfront paradise around 6.50am on April 13.
A Z-ping happens when a tracked shark spends a brief period of time at the water's surface, according to the nonprofit organization OCEARCH.
'The signal is sent and received by an Argos satellite, but it's not strong enough to determine an accurate location.'
Marine researchers with OCEARCH have been tracking Cayo for less than a year.
The deadly predator was tagged and released in Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia, on July 29, 2025. Since then, she has traveled more than 4,100 miles up and down the East Coast.
Trump was not present at Mar-a-Lago at the time and OCEARCH emphasized that Cayo's presence offshore posed no added risk to the public.
Juvenile and subadult sharks like Cayo tend to steer clear of shorelines and are rarely spotted by residents or beachgoers.
Cayo (pictured) is 689 pounds and measures 10 feet and three inches. She was originally tagged and released in Nova Scotia last year.
Mar-a-Lago is located in Palm Beach in South Florida. Sharks are frequently swimming in the area during the spring and summer months.
Monday's ping was the second in the area in just a few days. Cayo also pinged elsewhere near Palm Beach on Friday morning.
Scientists say this is a normal migration pattern for great white sharks as they remain in the south for the winter and spring seasons.
During the winter and spring months, water in the south becomes warm and prey is more abundant, reported CBS12. In the summer and fall, sharks like Cayo travel back up north.
During Trump's first term, Jacksonville.com reported that the president's frequent trips to Mar-a-Lago could threaten the shark population off its shores.
The sprawling Palm Beach estate is 'right along the survey path' that researchers use to track sharks in North America, biologist Stephen M. Kajiura told the outlet.
Like many biologists, Kajiura uses low-flying planes to conduct aerial surveys of sharks off the coast of Florida.
When the president visits the estate, the airspace is temporarily shut down, causing 'a direct imposition on data collection by a visiting president.'
'He has no idea that he's doing it, but it does mean a significant reduction,' Kajiura said at the time.
The president has a known hatred for sharks, going on multiple public tirades against them in the last decade.
Cayo pinged off the coast of Palm Beach twice in the past several days. Researchers said this was a normal migration pattern for sharks of her kind.
The president has a known distaste for sharks, dating back to at least 2013, when he made multiple posts ridiculing them.
'Sorry folks, I'm just not a fan of sharks - and don't worry, they will be around long after we are gone,' he wrote on X.
'Sharks are last on my list - other than perhaps the losers and haters of the World!' he added in another post.
At a rally in 2020, the president told the crowd that he was 'not a big fan of sharks,' reported Newsweek.
'I have people calling me up, "Sir, we have a fund to save the shark, it's called Save The Shark,"' Trump said. 'I say "no thank you, I have other things I can contribute to."'
The Daily Mail contacted Mar-a-Lago for comment.
