Researchers have found 512 years old Greenland shark

This ancient shark is said to be the worlds oldest living vertebrate

Researchers have found an ancient shark in the North Atlantic, believed to be 512 years old, to be the oldest vertebrate in the world.

This particular shark was measured 18 feet in length and weighed a ton.

By measuring the size of the shark, researchers think that the creature could have been born in the early 7's, becoming older than Shakespeare.
Greenland sharks and elasmobranch According to education and research, Greenland sharks (Somniosus microcephalus) are native to the Arctic and North Atlantic and can grow up to 24 feet (7 meters) tall and 2,645 pounds (1,200 kg) in groups (GERG). They are slow-moving fish, growing at about 5 feet (1.5 m / s) per second and reaching a depth of 1.5 feet (2, m of 5 meters), the GERG said. Suggested starting - when future King Henry VIII ended his engagement with Catherine of Aragon.

Greenland sharks mostly eat fish but have never been seen prey. They found snails and even horses on their stomachs.

Their meat is considered a delicious dish in Iceland, but if left untreated, it is poisonous.

A separate study of its bones and tissues by the Art University of Norway can also provide a clue on the effects of climate change and pollution over long periods of time.

In the meantime, researchers have mapped all mitochondrial DNA of a 16-foot shark shark - genetic material stored in tiny batteries - into energy-efficient cells.

Experts have used its length - a staggering 18 feet - and radiocarbon to determine the age between 272 and 512 years, according to a science study.
