Greenland Sharks (HD) | JONATHAN BIRD'S BLUE WORLD
Jonathan travels to Canada in search of the Greenland shark, a huge, lethargic shark that lives in arctic waters. It takes days of effort, but finally, in dark, cold, murky water, Jonathan finally meets this elusive animal, and its nothing like he expected.
This is an HD upload of a program originally uploaded in 2011.

It’s so awesome Greenland sharks are ancient the one researchers caught is 515 years old it was born 1509 around king Henry the 8th
200 years? They found a ~17 feet long Greenland shark which age was estimated on at least 400 years, but it could be up to 520 years! Their metabolism works so slowely that they can get this old... it's super crazy to imagine that today there are Greenland sharks out there, 400-500 years old. They were born when in Europe were still medieval times (1521 - 1621).

Sometimes I wonder if you guys ever feel scared to jump into deep, murky waters like this. After all, the ocean remains largely unknown to humankind, and you never know what would be coming at you. Yeah, you guys are really great. I'll give you that.
Came to this episode out of direct curiosity. First saw the greenland shark in Jeremy Wade's River Monsters, season 5 in the Loch Ness episode and an addition special on this shark in some later season. Jeremy of course caught one with a fishing rod and, being a biologist and nature lover, he also released the shark like he does any fish. He used almost 300 feet of line if i recall correctly. Awesome creature (the Greenland shark I mean) and amazing to find them so close to shore. Nice of you to dedicate an episode to this remarkable animal!
Why are the scariest sharks the most harmless?

The video of him he makes and the world he lives in is so cool but to me it looks scary
keep the videos coming pleas imma be gettin my scuba licence soon an the im ganna be a marine biologist I like to watch this to learn more
Yes. That water is murky and difficult to see somewhat. So initially that water looks less fun compared to clear blue water. How based on what you were saying about the green land sharks and how many years they live to be. It must be the coldness that reserves the the speed of self usage. Also the green chains ⛓ of rich nutrient waters that play a major role of prolonging life secrets there? Thanks for sharing the footage with you entering the water even if there wasn’t any sightings of anything? Thank you Jonathan Bird!
as a canadain i never new they lived in my area! i thought they were not to close!

They can't move very fast at all and it's hypothesized that they catch prey by ambushing sleeping animals so you'd be safe.

It’s really hard to think that a shark was born 500 years ago by Newfoundland, Vikings have been on Newfoundland, but the first European sighting of Newfoundland and Canada was John Cabot and his men, and to think of it there might have been a Greenland shark right under their ship curious about the alien visitors
Wish it was 1080p but that's ok.
so big
I like your video Jonathan im no1 fun for you.. From Philippines yeahh
significant
Small bioluminescent crustaceans sometimes attach themselves to Greenland sharks' eyes. That's one of the reasons they can't always see well.
@BlueWorldTV

They don't see those in the St. Lawrence for some reason.
Who'd have thought Greenland sharks can up to 400? Plus, they're very toxic.
Imagine filter feeders here!
I live in Canada
I got to swim with thos already 3 of them
even the water is ' green '
... Greenland sharks (from baby to adult) are actually blind. they have a small parasite that latches onto their retna feeding off their eyes when they're babies, so technically he couldn't see you, that's why he was banging the rocks to attract them by sound. but I'm guessing you already know that now. 🙂 lol sorry I had to point that out, me being Canadian it just slightly triggers me XD I mean no harm with this comment

Actually not all Greenland sharks have the parasite. And while the parasite obscures the vision it doesn't make them totally blind.
