“Before satellite tagging technology became feasible, it was thought that great white sharks (Carcharodon carcharias) spent most of their time close to the coasts feeding on seals and sea lions.”
“The shark's tag detached when the shark was just south of Exmouth Gulf in Western Australia.”
“Most of the sharks stayed near Africa, but one of these sharks, named Nicole, really surprised researchers when she traveled all the way to Australia.”
“In 2001, a shark tagged off of the coast of California was tracked all the way to Hawaii, 3,800 km (2,280 miles) away.”

The quote that represents an interpretation is:
“Most of the sharks stayed near Africa, but one of these sharks, named Nicole, really surprised researchers when she traveled all the way to Australia.”
This statement expresses a level of surprise and implies a judgment about the behavior of the shark named Nicole compared to others, which goes beyond merely reporting a fact. It interprets the significance of the behavior in a way that suggests a change in understanding or expectation.
