The Greenland shark—the world's longest-living vertebrate—is most often associated with cold Arctic waters. However, a new ...

Many Greenland sharks suffer from parasitic copepods that cloud their eyes, effectively making them blind. The Greenland ...

Scientists may finally understand how the Greenland shark lives for 400 years. While not exactly that spectacular looking of a creature, the Greenland shark makes up for its hulking frame ...

Greenland sharks have the longest lifespan of any vertebrate. Scientists think they can live for at least 250 years, if not up to 500 years. The shark was found to be 100-years-old.

The figure is astounding: one 16-foot female Greenland shark’s age was estimated range from 272 to 512. Because we do not know in which part of the ocean this female was born, the figure is inexact.

For the Greenland shark, the climate crisis has unfolded in the blink of a parasite-encrusted eye. If a new generation survives to continue its line, it could inhabit a world very different from ...

The Caribbean shark discovery took place thousands of miles from where Greenland sharks are normally found. Kasana was working with Belizean fishers to tag tiger sharks (Galeocerdo cuvier) as part ...

The shark travels at the insanely slow speed of .75 miles per hour. When sprinting, it can reach speeds of 1.6 miles per hour. Greenland sharks are often blind due to parasites that attack their eyes.

A small Greenland shark, less than 5 feet (1.5 meters) long, was seen inside Scott Inlet on northern Baffin Island. (Image credit: Brynn Devine) Greenland sharks arrived at 80 percent of our ...

Greenland sharks are thought to have lifespans that can reach 400 years. Building upon previous work, University of Tokyo-led researchers have now sequenced a chromosome-level genome of the ...

“At first, I was sure it was something else, like a six gill shark that are well known from deep waters off coral reefs,” Devanshi Kasana, a Ph.D. candidate in FlU’s Predator Ecology and ...
