A living piece of history is swimming beneath the Arctic ice. This Greenland shark has been alive since 1627. It was born before Isaac Newton🦈
Lol. Some people shouldn't have access to community notes. The suggested note incorrectly implies the 400-year figure applies only to one dead specimen. The 2016 study (Nielsen et al.) established a species growth rate of ~1cm/yr. Multiple 5m+ sharks currently swimming are statistically confirmed to be between 272 and 512 years old.
