They don't hunt, they don't have the kind of teeth or speed, they eat whatever ends up on the ocean floor, so by the time this has happened, the animal is already rotting, what is left of the carcass they can detect with their senses.

This shark was born when Oliver Cromwell was a young man.
Crazy, that some of these sharks were born when knights wore armor and Castles were still used as military structures!
I think knights and castles had been rendered obsolete by 1627

That would be about 400 yrs ago, no?
@@turdfurgeson2032the last knight was around 15.. something, but castles were used as Military structure till 17th century. After that some became home of the noble but many got destroyed in the 30 years war at that time.
There were no knights in 16, 17 centuary lol
@@wigman1962Elton John was knighted by the Queen of England in 1998 bud. Obviously doesn't carry the same weight, but there WERE and still ARE knights, knighted for achievements or service of the country
These sharks were literally born during the golden age of piracy
probably ate some pirates too
These sharks are deep sea. Meaning they mostly eat small fish and crustaceans and remains or other animals doubt they would eat or attack humans like other species.
But if some pirate died in sea and his body sank to the depts sure they could be a good meal for these sharks @@AZ-rg3rf
joy boy probably had pet greenland sharks, whole family of em
@@H0LL0WHearteDthey also only live in cold waters near the arctic circle. Life is slower in such temperatures so 400 years for them will seem like how we perceive our average lifespan of 80 years roughly. The perception of time is relative
Or the danish intervention of the 30 years war
Beautiful when you think about it.
All chaos that’s happened on land in that time and these guys just keep swimming totally oblivious to it.
Makes you think what was it all about and was it even worth it.
It really wasn't worth it
Yeah, agree @@Moonotter1
Oh to be a Greenland shark obliviously swimming in the dark for 400 years
Considering we went from wooden huts to skyscrapers i guess it was worth it
Well it happened so there's nothing anyone can do about it anyways
"SHE SAID SHE WAS 156!!"
Haha! "Officer, please!"
Get in the net buddy. You're going to jail, she wasn't even a 100
How original, metaphor about sex with minors🙄🤦
@@yevgeniyaleshchenko849 it was a joke not a metaphor LMFAO lighten up
@@yevgeniyaleshchenko849 it was never that serious..
Four centuries. Fascinating. The Ming Dynasty still existed during its lifetime.
Before Antonio vivaldi, Js Bach
Ottoman empire and Spanish empire then
Before Benjamin Franklin , after Maurice of Nassau
Napoleon wasn't even around yet, France was still a monarchy, Prussia didn't exist, the British Empire was still expanding, it's all so surreal.
Before "I can't believe its not butter"
@@domingofung what
That’s one of the reasons they’re so endangered. Even wild specimens need to survive for multiple decades or centuries until they can reproduce

So they're like me, except i ain't living anywhere close to that long./j
"But officer, she told me that she was 156"
“That's illegal, mate. You know she's a minor, right?”
“I swear she said she was 156!”
I swear, she said she was 472!
She's 18
300th 👍
Hilarious 🥱🥱
The things that shark has lived through is amazing. It was just vibing around the ocean during the golden age of piracy, French revolution, both world wars and countless other historical moments.
To them it's like nothing happened
Twin towers fell and they had not the slightest clue
Yeah I remember all these events well. I was born at the same time.
Yup. This shark witnesses all disgusting things humans can do.

Revolutionary war
@@sk-ig4wtHey, take a joke.
@@jerald40he did
How about this sombitch was around for the signing of the declaration of independence? And was around 150 then.
I've heard reports of them living past 500
The parasite on the eye is absolutely horrifying
I swear this shark is living through my biggest fear
I think it's adorable 🥰
the parasite also attract fishes and preys for the shark to eat/hunt, it's more of a symbiose relation ship if i remember correctly
Why is a politician living in a shark's eye?
@@Randy1337 u okay?
