    You kill the shark first then you date it. I wouldn't be surprised if they can get way older than 500 years. I'd be surprised if could even find one alive that somehow has managed to survive not only the dangers of the sea but even worse - us humans.

    We assume a growth rate of 1 cm per year from an individuum that has been caught twice (in 1936 and 1952) which would make the largest ones 500 years or older. This fits with what the carbon dating of eye lenses has found for a 5 m long shark: 392 +/- 120 years.

    These sharks have an odd tendency to break off from divers that are filming them snd then reappear flanking the same divers. It suggests studying behavior. Curiosity is a natural predatory trait and would potentially suggest these animals are more active hunters than we've previously assumed. One thing is for certain, we don't know as much about them as we'd like.

    Similar to this shark, lizards also generally breed by the male grabbing the female's shoulder in its jaws and using one of its hemipenes (it also has 2) for breeding. Blue-tongue skinks are a classic example of this primordial approach.

  • @unknownentity8489

    11 ай бұрын

    Normally, scientists find out the age of a shark by counting the vertebral growth ring on their skeletons, and it helps them estimate how long a species of shark can live for. However, that's difficult, pretty much impossible, to do with a Greenland because of how different their skeletal structure is compared to other sharks. So, they used a method called bomb radiocarbon. Basically, animals born after the testing of nuclear weapons in the 50's and 60's will have a "bomb pulse" in their tissue. The "pulse" was present within the eye lens of a Greenland, as the tissue doesn't change much.
