This is a 393-year old Greenland Shark that lives in the Arctic Ocean. It is the oldest living vertebrate on the planet

So he was born 1629? That's cool

Known living vertebrate.

How come it doesn't have a crustacean hanging off it's eyes?

>>/sci/

He has spent that entire time blind because copepods eat their eyes out soon after they’re hatched/born whatever
imagine spending 393 years in the cold dark ocean depths as crab things wriggle in your eye sockets

Im in awe at this ancient nigger, majestic

They live too far down.

Does he have dreams?

I don’t see any intact eyes, do you?

Because it's doesn't have eyes anymore

imagine how many sharkettes he's banged, lucky fucker

damn really nigga that is crazy

he is 393 everyonne who says otherwise is jew.

>It is the oldest living vertebrate on the planet.
...that we know of :)

Scandinavians discovered that you could eat this meat.

No almost all Greenland sharks have parasites for eyeballs

394.

ok maybe

>imagine spending 393 years in the cold dark ocean depths as crab things wriggle in your eye sockets
Badass nonetheless.

Greenland shark sex must be the most boring thing ever
we are talking about an animal that drifts around with its mouth open and only eats when a seal accidentally swims into its open mouth

Don't they live up to 500 years?

YOU FORGOT THE >SAY SOMETHING NICE ABOUT HIM

>if only you knew how bad things had gotten

How do they measure their age?

Greenland sharks are reaching sexual maturity in their 100s

good thing sharks hardly use their eyes ever

You should have that looked at

you have to leave it curing in a shed for like 3 years or something because it’s basically living rotten meat and you have to wait for it to somehow un-rot

You have to count the rings.

Oldest documented is 512 I believe.

Eye samples ironically

The shark verbally confirmed it

Phenomenal thread and responses everyone

Scandinavian ice aborigines presumably ate that one and now it’s not the oldest living one anymore

Yeah but how does it taste with ketchup?

It’s unknown. They may just not have a self destruct mechanism.

>You can't prove the age until you cut it up.
>Oldest documented is 512 I believe.
>Don't they live up to 500 years?

daily reminder that there is absolutely no reason why we should age or die, and that the only reason this happens is because it was easier to evolve sexual reproduction than wolvenerine tier regenerative powers.

It is completely biologically possible to never age, heal any wounds or injuries, even regrow limbs, and live in the body of a 20 year old for tens of thousands of years. We just don't have the genes to do that, but it is possible.

The taste is sort of a cross between zombie flesh and mummy flesh, but with a sort of ketchup flavor

>copepods
Lol cope

can human be cooled to 33 degrees F and kept alive in a state of suspended animation to prevent aging?

okay i am drop[i8n gmy manifesto kok

It's raw meat is poisonous and smell ammonia and urine.
