Ocearch, a non-profit research organization,first caught and tagged the shark for research purposes off the coast of Florida in March 2013 andnamedit Lydia.

The shark, which has been observed travelling across the Atlantic Ocean, even has its own Twitter account.

Ocearch's tracking software shows that Lydia has been moving closer to Newfoundland.

Researchers believe the large seal population may be what attracts the sharks to the area, but they say there's still too much unknown about them to know for sure.
