@ocean.mysteries.h: oceanmysterieshub Imagine swimming through the ocean for centuries. The Greenland shark (Somniosus microcephalus) is one of the longest-living vertebrates on Earth, with scientific estimates suggesting some individuals may survive for several centuries. Researchers have estimated the age of one exceptionally old specimen at around 392 years, with a wide margin of uncertainty extending beyond 500 years. That means these mysterious deep-sea predators could have been alive long before many modern nations even existed, silently roaming the freezing Arctic waters for centuries.
