The shark that could live for hundreds of years

In the icy arctic waters off Greenland lives a mysterious creature called the Greenland shark. It can be as large as a Great White but very little else is known about it. Danish biologist Julius Nielsen decided to unearth the truth and found that some were over 200 years old. Photos of the sharks can be seen on his Instagram: @juniel85 #greenlandsharkproject
