"if only they could speak, what knowledge they would have" yeah swimming around blind at the bottom of the sea, what great stories they could tell us
That's all I could think too when watching it haha.
exactly my thoughts
That's what I thought. I really wanna know what some animals think. These sharks must have ''seen'' a lot.. I know they can't really see but.. you know what I mean :P
Ahh, let's see: the smell of your rotting flesh at the bottom of the ocean.
LOL
"It doesn't need to see"
*shark bumps into camera*
Shark : Ouch!!
😆
JUST IMAGINE WHAT A 200 YEAR OLD DEEP SEA SHARK COULD TELL US IF IT COULD SPEAK!
"I cant see anything. Theres this itch i have on my face. I had it for 78 years. Things r calm here. Nothing rly going on 2,5km below sea level, but i feel immense pressure"
curb your hopes
One of those could have somehow met with vikings. What if there is a 1000 years old one out there?
Anyways, i wish i could live that long.
hed probably tell u what i wrote in my original comment
"i bumped into something hard. I heard some noise going on on it. Anyway, i was blind for half a millenium now. Im cold."
@@spuilloh2637 My humor transcends time
Okay but when it booped the camera :')
My Life!
There is not enough time in the day to watch all the documentary videos I want.
+Anna Glenn lol mania phase got initiated ha ...
It looks like a cute old man.
+Anon Kapo Sounds like you already did
Anon Kapo yes
Yeah like in those horror movies where it’s some cute old lady that kills a bunch of people
Actually not an inaccurate description of what it is
One of these sharks has been cut open, inside of its stomach was some horse, some elk, and an entire polar bear. A polar bear! These are not harmless creatures. . . but they are beautiful.
How the hell could they do that?!? they're blind.....
SamGook 삼국 some theorize that they feasted on dead animal carcasses
stancexpunks actually they are hunters surprisingly
They probably rely on stealth
@@RoonVonBismarck A lot of animals are blind but still able to hunt. Smell and hearing are just useful as sight when the species is specialized enough.
if they could talk they would only talk about darkness...200 years of darkness ;(
More aeons not years
These sharks are probably supporters of the Nazi party as well. .. Just for good measure. lol
Coffee Jack
They supported the Marxists before it was cool.
Fuckin metal
200 Years of darkness: Memoirs of a Greenland Shark
That sounds like a haunting read.
What would they say, how much they would know!
*asks shark*
"Uh, yeah dude, there's water and shit, and it's blue, and there are like some fish that I see once in a while."
Nothing 😂Lmao
Over 200 years they can say how much the environment has changed and the humans they encounter. Maybe even what type of other underwater species they encounter
Weirdest part is, there are parasites on it's eyes. It can't see shit.
"Imagine if they could talk, what knowlegde they would have"
Greenland shark, "Blub, blub, blub bloop, hungry".
It moves so slow it would rarely need to feed, i guess its more of a scavenger shark than a hunter
It ambushes seals while they sleep
I mean, they'll eat most anything. They've been known to eat literal garbage.
Ligren Hassnus same
"if only they could speak, what knowledge they would have"
yeah, they may actually tell us about Titanic unlucky passenger from their perspective. Who knows.
I like the enjoyment of this dude while he talks. The is really passionate about his job and this creatures
1:04 it hit it's head on the camera lol
Its not the shark that i am afraid of , its swiming in freezing water of the artic under a vast sheet of ice that creeps me.
agung purnomo and the darkness of the ocean.
"Imagine if they could talk, what knowledge they would have." I'm sure it goes something like "It's dark, and cold"
When I lived in Iceland, many years ago, I caught one .
I cut it open and inside was a British Mk VIII torpedo!
I was blown away!
Is that true?
A shark that attacks like an alligator 😂
Awesome footage! Glad they didn't kill it like the last Greenland shark expedition I saw.
Greenland sharks are one of my favorite animals and my favorite shark. They’re so cute and fascinating. They look like rocks and they always have this long string (parasite) coming out of their eyes. And they look toothless
It's adorable! I love this breed.
"if only they could speak, what knowledge they would have" Quote from Ted: There's some fucked up fish out there
I swear I saw one of these back in 96... the thing on its eye and all that.. id like to see how far south and how shallow they have been spotted elsewhere
man.... these things if could talk, imagine the amazing stories we would get..
1:05 Oof
Life & the universe is so amazing
Beautiful footage.
I remember that story my grandfather told me that his friend when he was little when they went for fishing. His friend got eaten by "Eqalussuaq" it means the great shark in Greenland. And he was eaten near ilulissat And a fisherman found a boy in the sharks stomach and that man was in narsarsuaq(google map it) and it took only 23 hours. From ilulissat to narsarsuaq🤯
Thanks! This really helped my gt project!
"Parasites : making life more difficult since always."
And then there are viruses... like COVID-19. ._.
I wondered why you didn't get the iceworm off the one good eye he had left. Thanks for the video.
Can't wait for new video footage on this species, hope you remember your "awww it looks so cute!" comments THEN :)
such a wonderful animal. sleepers and greenlands are so magnificent. deep diver sharks that grow to massive sizes but seem very docile.
Beautiful fish
Gosh, INCREDIBLE!
I can't think of a worse parasite than one that latches onto your eyeball and blinds you permanently.
Beautiful
Great great video!!!!!!!
The beautiful animal.
The shark of the abyss.
Sharks are so cool and bonnethead sharks are so cute!🥰
Glorious.
Powerful Greenland Shark!!!
Imagine how cold that water is
Majestic
+Legion Otacon im done here.
They're scavengers. It could have been a dead seal. And actually they live longer than 200 years, the oldest greenland shark was 512 years old and they found ivory lodged into its side from back in the days when they use to hunt whales and other creatures (Probably 200 years ago)
Amazing creatures definitely.
They're ambush predators, not scavengers.
Cute shark
fantastic
They aren't fished for much anymore, but before synthetic machine oil they were fished for the oil in their livers on a massive scale.
Took a shark quiz turns out I'm a greenland shark
Holy shit if my eye had that parasite what tr ffff
People actully thinks that this kind of shark is an good candidate for beeng the real lochness monster. I found this really intresting, just because we onley knew about this species in a decade or so, and these guys can grow big!! And they can live in sweetwater as well.
+Edmir Arifi Maybe, but then again the loch ness monster is pretty much always portrayed as looking like a plesiosaur rather than a shark
sweetwater? wut
I believe these guys have been getting munched on since Vikings were around
Why conclude these sharks actively hunt seals? Couldn't they scavenge from the bottom. And if seal carcasses float... this shark seems to be swimming pretty near the surface.
Xsuprio they found recently killed seals that had been attacked by Greenland sharks and also seal populations where the pattern and rate of seals dying was characteristic of predation in areas too cold for other sharks
They are probably capable of bursts of speed. That or they sniff out seal holes and ambush them.
It's kinda looks cute for a shark.
Fermented meat from greenland sharks is an Icelandic delicacy.
Erm aren't they known to live up to 400? and possibly more
I think the eldest was close to 600yrs, its crazy 0_0
Yes. After this video was posted, one Greenland shark in a study was found to be as old as 512 (392 +/- 120 years) by using radiocarbon dating of its inner eye lens. That was the largest of the 28 Greenland sharks in the study (which had accidentally died during a Greenland Institute for Natural Resources commercial fish-monitoring program.) at 16.5 feet in length. It should be noted that Greenland sharks have been recorded to reach lengths of 24 feet! Who knows how old they can get.
So their teeth are like razors and the shark shake its prey and the teeth will eventually cut through.
Fascinating
You took a troll comment and made a reply relevant to the video. For that, my good friend, you win the interweb.
Great!
at least 400 hundred years (not 200 hundred) is the lifespan of this unique creature.
"It has an extra Gill slit than the modern day Sharks.....". I may be missing something here but it appears to have five sets of Gills like most Sharks, although six gilled sharks (as a separate species) do exist. Have I misread what's been said here?
A Greenland shark that’s swimming around today could’ve witnessed the Titanic and the Civil War.
That was so sad when It bumped into the camera
Are these sharks docile? I am truly amazed!
No, they actively hunt anything in the water. People seem to be off the menu but large ones have shown predatory and even agressive tendencies.
Has big eyes I didn’t expect haha
"Not many people know about it"
*25,000 views.*
Cool
I’m sure that seals probably drown looking for air holes and when they sink to the bottom of the ocean the sharks have their way with them, so to speak....
Stephen Cook no they actually hunt seals actively, there is a documentary on it called the corkscrew killer.
One World One Ocean. There was a survei some years back on the Greenland shark (Norwegian Håkjerring) first of all, they were supriced of the excisting numbers. The also found that they mainly feed on "steinkobbe"(I don't know the English name) which actually sleeps under water. The Greenland shark is very slow, so they figured they took the seals while they were sleeping. They have found out that it gets VERY old,up to 500 years, and there has been seen sizes up to 7 meters. Some time ago, a Greenland shark measuring more than 4 meters was caught by fishing rod in one of our fjords. This catch is one of the biggest ever made by a fishing rod. A lot of people thinks that Norwegian waters are free of sharks. Actually at least 7 species are resident all along our coastline. The most common ones are, in Norwegian, Pigghå, Håbrand, Håkjerring and Brudge (Basking shark).
At the end of the video, why is the Diver shaking/wiggling his little device/reader thing?
"What knowledge they would have" Greenland shark: "Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? Spongebob squarepants. Absorbent and yellow and porous is he. SpOnGeBob sQuArEpaNTs"
One was found that was around 400 years old, so they can get older than 200 years.
anyone still watching in 2019?
He's a Rock/water pokemon!
"This renders the eyes blind, however the shark just don't give a fuck."
Alternate title: Ancient Sea Doggo Comes Up to Meet 2 Legged Boi in Black Spandex and Shit
imagine being this old wow like a 200 year old man just hanging about
Who else wanted it to turn around and latch on to the divers face, then for it's secondary jaw to come out and rip his head off?
Why?
Bro r u alright
after listening to this stupid cameraman's comments about how safe he feels around such predator, you kinda have a curious point :}
Great informative video------thanks for posting and keeping us ocean lovers updated with marine life. Kathy kirkscubagear
That eye worm thing sounds awful.
I wish I lived 500 years. Underwater.
everyone should pay more attention to greenland it is important not just some piece of ice its neighbour canada needs to support it , greenlands population is 45,000 and part of north america , long live greenland from a englishman
1:04 It hit the camera like it doesn't see anything...
I was talking to my mom and she said she just wants to rip the parasite off 😂 I wonder what would happen tho
They dont live 200 years they live around 400 YEARS! SOME OVER 500
The guy looks like an older Michael Phelps.
1:18
i finally found a mistake on one of these video
he says "experience"
not opinion
I win the internet today
Wonder what this shark was doing near the ocean surface?
Hello darkness my old friend
The shark of the abyss
Just waiting for a mate
its sow cute
Older and stronger than a Relicanth! With better stats, too!
Or is Relicanth based on the Greenland shark?.....
I thought it was a copepod that fed on the sharks eye and not a worm?
1:28 lol there’s a worm 🐛 boi swimmin around
Wiggle wiggle wiggle
Also known as a sleeper shark.
A relative of Pacific Sleeper Shark.
“Nobody knows about it. Largest population of sharks because no commercial fisheries near it.” Until now. A billionaires want a 50,000 dollar bowl of 292 year old shark?
It's the Artic Corkscrew killer
I don't know there is a shark like that
what if, instead of just blinding the shark, the copipod is freeing the sharks other senses by blinding it.
