An old shark in Groenlandia

A photographer came to extraordinary lengths to photograph these sharks rarely seen and seems to have been carved in stone.

These incredible sharks that live in Groenlandia are called Somniosus microcefalia. They can live more than 200 years in depths up to 600 meters.

They are bigger than the famous white shark, they grow up to 7 meters. They use to eat big seals but it's also known that they also can eat polar bears and reindeers.

They live farther north than any other shark. The waters in wich they swim are too cold, near to only 1ºC.
This strange animals are more calm than other king of shark and they are so curiouos and peaceful.
