While other vertebrates, such as the rougheye rockfish and the bowhead whale, can reach an impressive age of around 200 years, the Greenland shark is by far the longest-lived vertebrate with some estimates as high as 512 years.

This is a Greenland shark – a species that can live to be at least 250 years old. That means around the time the oldest confirmed shark was born, the world was a very different place to what it is now.
