Marine biologists found a Greenland shark reaching 500 years in age, surpassing the previous record held by a 211-year-old bowhead whale.
Imagine discovering a creature that could be as old as 500 years, swimming in the depths of the ocean. This is exactly what you find with the Greenland shark, a species now recognized as the longest-lived vertebrate in the world.
I don’t think anyone understands how long ago 500 years is, myself included.
this shark is so damn old it was around before the √ symbol.
This shark is so old it predates the discovery of the grand canyon.
