Back in 1936, off the coast of Greenland. This adventurous shark was later recaptured in 1952
The Greenland shark is a denizen of the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans. You might be surprised to learn that this stealthy predator occasionally ventures as far south as the Gulf of Mexico
Ranging from 2.4 to 7 meters (7.9 to 23.0 feet) and weighing between 400 and 1,400 kg (880 to 3,090 lbs)
It’s dark gray, brown, or black coloration, coupled with a cylindrical body and small eyes
the Greenland shark has an interesting technique
With its rolling motion, this shark uses its upper jaw teeth, which are thin and pointed, to anchor itself while the lower jaw takes massive bites out of its prey
The lower teeth, interlocking and square in shape, contain short cusps that point outward
Believe it or not, Greenland sharks, with their enormous size and immense appetite, have been known to feast on polar bears
Fairly sluggish. Its slow movements and cold-water habitat make it a rather laid-back predator
