Arrow Shark found in wild believed to be 512 years old

By my reckoning that is older than Neem and Cherie combined



This enormous Greenland shark may be the oldest living vertebrate in the world, it has been claimed.

In fact, it is estimated to be up to 512-years-old (meaning it was born before Shakespeare).

How do they know? This particular species grows at a rate of 1cm a year.

I read that as Shrek and have never felt so confused and excited before for like .08 of a second.

This is pretty cool too, but like its not an ogre.

"Greenland sharks have an estimated life span of 400 years, and usually spend their time swimming around looking for a mate."


A Lucas tea?

Isn't there a kind of sea animal (I'll look it up later) which lives forever until it's killed?

Clams often live for hundreds of years. I think it's jellyfish that technically don't age (biologically degrade) so could in theory live forever but usually they'll be eaten or killed by other means within a couple of decades.
