Greenland Sharks (HD) | JONATHAN BIRD'S BLUE WORLD

Jonathan travels to Canada in search of the Greenland shark, a huge, lethargic shark that lives in arctic waters. It takes days of effort, but finally, in dark, cold, murky water, Jonathan finally meets this elusive animal, and its nothing like he expected.

They just found a greenland shark that was believed to be 400 years old, that's insane!

[@JAVTROOPER]

Who is they?

[@lucidnode]

And now they found one believed to be 500. Crazy af

It’s so awesome Greenland sharks are ancient the one researchers caught is 515 years old it was born 1509 around king Henry the 8th

[@sonatine3266]

200 years? They found a ~17 feet long Greenland shark which age was estimated on at least 400 years, but it could be up to 520 years! Their metabolism works so slowely that they can get this old... it's super crazy to imagine that today there are Greenland sharks out there, 400-500 years old. They were born when in Europe were still medieval times (1521 - 1621).

[@BlueWorldTV]

Just want to point out....that research came out WELL after this segment was released.

[@leafung8445]

Thanks to this video, Greenland sharks have become my favorite sharks and I find every opportunity to tell everyone about them, usually when I'm drunk. lol

[@hayliedlr]

My favorite too

[@zhouyongkang5331]

When I'm drunk, I like to tell people about how much I love sperm whales for hunting the one thing I fear in the ocean: monstrous squids. lmao

[@SteveJian]

Sometimes I wonder if you guys ever feel scared to jump into deep, murky waters like this. After all, the ocean remains largely unknown to humankind, and you never know what would be coming at you. Yeah, you guys are really great. I'll give you that.

But sharks aren’t even scary...

[@agerven]

Came to this episode out of direct curiosity. First saw the greenland shark in Jeremy Wade's River Monsters, season 5 in the Loch Ness episode and an addition special on this shark in some later season. Jeremy of course caught one with a fishing rod and, being a biologist and nature lover, he also released the shark like he does any fish. He used almost 300 feet of line if i recall correctly. Awesome creature (the Greenland shark I mean) and amazing to find them so close to shore. Nice of you to dedicate an episode to this remarkable animal!

[@Tsumefan2]

when you get 0 results on every dive i bet you get really disappointed but i am glad you don't give up

[@oranjeehobbies]

[@moalzaben5554]

200 years old well the oldest one is 512 years old, I think u heard of couple years back Jonathan.

[@BlueWorldTV]

Yes, this video came out before the new research paper was published that showed that these things may get as old as 500+ years, which makes them the longest-living vertebrates known on this planet!

[@moalzaben5554]

It’s really hard to think that a shark was born 500 years ago by Newfoundland, Vikings have been on Newfoundland, but the first European sighting of Newfoundland and Canada was John Cabot and his men, and to think of it there might have been a Greenland shark right under their ship curious about the alien visitors

[@reinakoning9207]

Recent discoveries prove the greenland sharks get older than 300 years

[@BlueWorldTV]

True!

I was surprised that shark academy haven't review the goblin shark

[@MCGlitchman123]

It is hiding in the deepest part ocean. I am guessing 5000 ft or more.

They are INCREDIBLY rare, and are near 5000ft in depth

The life of a a Greenland shark kinda sucks. 99% chance of getting crippling eye parasites, metabolism similar to that of a radish, and a face only a mother could love

[@sebherolight8058]

On the news the Greenland shark was 247 years old! OH MY GAWD

[@jonathansantos6009]

Yes. That water is murky and difficult to see somewhat. So initially that water looks less fun compared to clear blue water. How based on what you were saying about the green land sharks and how many years they live to be. It must be the coldness that reserves the the speed of self usage. Also the green chains ⛓ of rich nutrient waters that play a major role of prolonging life secrets there? Thanks for sharing the footage with you entering the water even if there wasn’t any sightings of anything? Thank you Jonathan Bird!

Small bioluminescent crustaceans sometimes attach themselves to Greenland sharks' eyes. That's one of the reasons they can't always see well.
