Greenland sharks can live for up to 500 years, making them the longest-living vertebrates.
The Greenland shark is found in the cold waters of the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans.
Greenland sharks grow extremely slowly, at about 1 cm per year.
Most Greenland sharks are blind due to parasitic copepods attached to their eyes.
Despite their size, Greenland sharks are among the slowest swimmers, moving at about 1.2 km/h.
Their meat is toxic unless properly fermented or processed.
