The Greenland Shark is a prehistoric shark, it has an extra gill slit than the modern day shark, so it comes from another era. It lives thousands of feet on the bottom of the North Atlantic Ocean, so very few people know about it. The Greenland Shark is known to live up to 200 years old. Parasites latch onto the eye of the shark and feed off the tissue of the eye, rendering the shark blind. But they have no problem hunting for food, they have incredible smell and, like most sharks, they can sense the vibrations that prey give off.
Cutie prehistoric shark! (Except for the eye scream part).
