U vodama oko Grenlanda pronađena je ajkula koja bi mogla da bude stara između 272 i 512 godina.

Ajkula najverovatnije došla na svet u 16. veku

To znači da je ova riba najverovatnije na svet došla u 16. veku, a generacijski je blizu Šekspira.

Ovaj morski pas je verovatno najstariji živi kičmenjak na planeti.

After travelling 1800 km from Copenhagen to northern Norway we caught this ??? tonight only three hr after arrival... an amazing recapture of a specimen we also caught three years ago on the same location ??Thanks @andorja_adventures and @a_piece_of_nature for helping the #greenlandsharkproject ?? #tagandrelease #greenlandshark #norway #northernnorway #sharkscience #marinebiology #andørja #extremefishing

Pripada vrsti grenlandskih morskih pasa koji su poznati po dugom životnom veku, a starost im se određuje dužinom.

The last long lines in my PhD project has been recovered... ending with a nice double catch we have managed to collect data from a total of 312 Greenland sharks in past years. Sharks have been caught using long and fishing rods but data from sharks in accidental catches in deep sea gill nets and trawls has also been included. Now it is time for writing the thesis ? photo credit: @a_piece_of_nature #greenlandsharkproject

Naime, morski psi ove vrste godišnje rastu po jedan centimetar. Dob životinje objavljena je u časopisu Science, a ovo je najstariji primerak od 28 morskih pasa koje su naučnici proučavali.
