Her name is Mary Lee. She is a shark. She has more Twitter followers than most people.

Mary Lee the shark weights over 3,400 pounds, is over 16 feet long and has over 101,400 followers on Twitter, as a matter of fact! Wait...what?

 

 

I have been following Mary Lee on Twitter for some time now (and she follows me!) and it really is a marvel of modern science and technology that helps Mary Lee keep us up to speed on her life, swimming up and down the eastern seaboard from Massachusetts to the Carolinas and regular stops along the Jersey Shore.

Mary Lee was tagged with a monitoring device that "pings" whenever she reaches the surface of the ocean, pinpointing where she is at that time. When this happens, her Twitter account tweets out her location as well, as some good humored comments from what we can only assume is a human helper. You can follower her too at @MaryLeeShark
