A diver swims alongside a Greenland shark, a rarely-seen species that looks like it has been etched from stone. They can survive for more than 200 years at depths of up to 600 metres under Arctic ice. They grow to 23-feet long and are so fearsome they have even been known to eat polar bears.

They can live for two hundred years and eat polar bears. What the actual fuck. Nature is awesome. 

Why would you swim next to that if it EATS POLAR BEARS????

I am terrified of the sea.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

FUCK THIS PLANET

The ocean is so fascinating and terrifying. It makes me wonder how many other creatures there are that we have yet to discover.

BTW, the flesh of these sharks are poisonous but according to Wiki:

“However, it can be eaten if it is boiled in several changes of water or dried or fermented for some months to produce Kæstur Hákarl, often Hákarl for short. Traditionally this was done by burying the shark in boreal ground, exposing it to several cycles of freezing and thawing.”

The more you know.

Also, these things eat reindeer.

Amazing!
