"if only they could speak, what knowledge they would have" yeah swimming around blind at the bottom of the sea, what great stories they could tell us
That's all I could think too when watching it haha.
exactly my thoughts
That's what I thought. I really wanna know what some animals think. These sharks must have ''seen'' a lot.. I know they can't really see but.. you know what I mean :P
Ahh, let's see: the smell of your rotting flesh at the bottom of the ocean.
LOL
"It doesn't need to see"
*shark bumps into camera*
Shark : Ouch!!
😆
There is not enough time in the day to watch all the documentary videos I want.
+Anna Glenn lol mania phase got initiated ha ...
Okay but when it booped the camera :')
My Life!
JUST IMAGINE WHAT A 200 YEAR OLD DEEP SEA SHARK COULD TELL US IF IT COULD SPEAK!
"I cant see anything. Theres this itch i have on my face. I had it for 78 years. Things r calm here. Nothing rly going on 2,5km below sea level, but i feel immense pressure"
curb your hopes
One of those could have somehow met with vikings. What if there is a 1000 years old one out there?
Anyways, i wish i could live that long.
hed probably tell u what i wrote in my original comment
"i bumped into something hard. I heard some noise going on on it. Anyway, i was blind for half a millenium now. Im cold."
@@spuilloh2637 My humor transcends time
It looks like a cute old man.
+Anon Kapo Sounds like you already did
Anon Kapo yes
Yeah like in those horror movies where it’s some cute old lady that kills a bunch of people
Actually not an inaccurate description of what it is
What would they say, how much they would know!
*asks shark*
"Uh, yeah dude, there's water and shit, and it's blue, and there are like some fish that I see once in a while."
Nothing 😂Lmao
Over 200 years they can say how much the environment has changed and the humans they encounter. Maybe even what type of other underwater species they encounter
Weirdest part is, there are parasites on it's eyes. It can't see shit.
One of these sharks has been cut open, inside of its stomach was some horse, some elk, and an entire polar bear. A polar bear! These are not harmless creatures. . . but they are beautiful.
How the hell could they do that?!? they're blind.....
SamGook 삼국 some theorize that they feasted on dead animal carcasses
stancexpunks actually they are hunters surprisingly
They probably rely on stealth
@@RoonVonBismarck A lot of animals are blind but still able to hunt. Smell and hearing are just useful as sight when the species is specialized enough.
if they could talk they would only talk about darkness...200 years of darkness ;(
More aeons not years
These sharks are probably supporters of the Nazi party as well. .. Just for good measure. lol
Coffee Jack
They supported the Marxists before it was cool.
Fuckin metal
200 Years of darkness: Memoirs of a Greenland Shark
That sounds like a haunting read.
"Imagine if they could talk, what knowlegde they would have"
Greenland shark, "Blub, blub, blub bloop, hungry".
I like the enjoyment of this dude while he talks. The is really passionate about his job and this creatures
"if only they could speak, what knowledge they would have"
yeah, they may actually tell us about Titanic unlucky passenger from their perspective. Who knows.
"Imagine if they could talk, what knowledge they would have." I'm sure it goes something like "It's dark, and cold"
It moves so slow it would rarely need to feed, i guess its more of a scavenger shark than a hunter
It ambushes seals while they sleep
I mean, they'll eat most anything. They've been known to eat literal garbage.
Ligren Hassnus same
Greenland sharks are one of my favorite animals and my favorite shark. They’re so cute and fascinating. They look like rocks and they always have this long string (parasite) coming out of their eyes. And they look toothless
When I lived in Iceland, many years ago, I caught one .
I cut it open and inside was a British Mk VIII torpedo!
I was blown away!
Is that true?
A shark that attacks like an alligator 😂
1:04 it hit it's head on the camera lol
Awesome footage! Glad they didn't kill it like the last Greenland shark expedition I saw.
Its not the shark that i am afraid of , its swiming in freezing water of the artic under a vast sheet of ice that creeps me.
agung purnomo and the darkness of the ocean.
It's adorable! I love this breed.
man.... these things if could talk, imagine the amazing stories we would get..
Thanks! This really helped my gt project!
Life & the universe is so amazing
such a wonderful animal. sleepers and greenlands are so magnificent. deep diver sharks that grow to massive sizes but seem very docile.
I swear I saw one of these back in 96... the thing on its eye and all that.. id like to see how far south and how shallow they have been spotted elsewhere
Beautiful footage.
Can't wait for new video footage on this species, hope you remember your "awww it looks so cute!" comments THEN :)
"if only they could speak, what knowledge they would have" Quote from Ted: There's some fucked up fish out there
I wondered why you didn't get the iceworm off the one good eye he had left. Thanks for the video.
I remember that story my grandfather told me that his friend when he was little when they went for fishing. His friend got eaten by "Eqalussuaq" it means the great shark in Greenland. And he was eaten near ilulissat And a fisherman found a boy in the sharks stomach and that man was in narsarsuaq(google map it) and it took only 23 hours. From ilulissat to narsarsuaq🤯
Beautiful
Gosh, INCREDIBLE!
Beautiful fish
"Parasites : making life more difficult since always."
And then there are viruses... like COVID-19. ._.
I can't think of a worse parasite than one that latches onto your eyeball and blinds you permanently.
Glorious.
Sharks are so cool and bonnethead sharks are so cute!🥰
1:05 Oof
Great great video!!!!!!!
Powerful Greenland Shark!!!
Majestic
+Legion Otacon im done here.
Imagine how cold that water is
fantastic
At the end of the video, why is the Diver shaking/wiggling his little device/reader thing?
The beautiful animal.
The shark of the abyss.
They aren't fished for much anymore, but before synthetic machine oil they were fished for the oil in their livers on a massive scale.
Cute shark
Took a shark quiz turns out I'm a greenland shark
Great!
It's kinda looks cute for a shark.
That was so sad when It bumped into the camera
One World One Ocean. There was a survei some years back on the Greenland shark (Norwegian Håkjerring) first of all, they were supriced of the excisting numbers. The also found that they mainly feed on "steinkobbe"(I don't know the English name) which actually sleeps under water. The Greenland shark is very slow, so they figured they took the seals while they were sleeping. They have found out that it gets VERY old,up to 500 years, and there has been seen sizes up to 7 meters. Some time ago, a Greenland shark measuring more than 4 meters was caught by fishing rod in one of our fjords. This catch is one of the biggest ever made by a fishing rod. A lot of people thinks that Norwegian waters are free of sharks. Actually at least 7 species are resident all along our coastline. The most common ones are, in Norwegian, Pigghå, Håbrand, Håkjerring and Brudge (Basking shark).
People actully thinks that this kind of shark is an good candidate for beeng the real lochness monster. I found this really intresting, just because we onley knew about this species in a decade or so, and these guys can grow big!! And they can live in sweetwater as well.
+Edmir Arifi Maybe, but then again the loch ness monster is pretty much always portrayed as looking like a plesiosaur rather than a shark
sweetwater? wut
I believe these guys have been getting munched on since Vikings were around
They're scavengers. It could have been a dead seal. And actually they live longer than 200 years, the oldest greenland shark was 512 years old and they found ivory lodged into its side from back in the days when they use to hunt whales and other creatures (Probably 200 years ago)
Amazing creatures definitely.
They're ambush predators, not scavengers.
at least 400 hundred years (not 200 hundred) is the lifespan of this unique creature.
Are these sharks docile? I am truly amazed!
No, they actively hunt anything in the water. People seem to be off the menu but large ones have shown predatory and even agressive tendencies.
You took a troll comment and made a reply relevant to the video. For that, my good friend, you win the interweb.
Has big eyes I didn’t expect haha
"It has an extra Gill slit than the modern day Sharks.....". I may be missing something here but it appears to have five sets of Gills like most Sharks, although six gilled sharks (as a separate species) do exist. Have I misread what's been said here?
Is it greenlend shark?
Holy shit if my eye had that parasite what tr ffff
Cool
Why conclude these sharks actively hunt seals? Couldn't they scavenge from the bottom. And if seal carcasses float... this shark seems to be swimming pretty near the surface.
Xsuprio they found recently killed seals that had been attacked by Greenland sharks and also seal populations where the pattern and rate of seals dying was characteristic of predation in areas too cold for other sharks
They are probably capable of bursts of speed. That or they sniff out seal holes and ambush them.
Do you have a picture?
One was found that was around 400 years old, so they can get older than 200 years.
"What knowledge they would have" Greenland shark: "Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? Spongebob squarepants. Absorbent and yellow and porous is he. SpOnGeBob sQuArEpaNTs"
A Greenland shark that’s swimming around today could’ve witnessed the Titanic and the Civil War.
Alternate title: Ancient Sea Doggo Comes Up to Meet 2 Legged Boi in Black Spandex and Shit
Erm aren't they known to live up to 400? and possibly more
I think the eldest was close to 600yrs, its crazy 0_0
Yes. After this video was posted, one Greenland shark in a study was found to be as old as 512 (392 +/- 120 years) by using radiocarbon dating of its inner eye lens. That was the largest of the 28 Greenland sharks in the study (which had accidentally died during a Greenland Institute for Natural Resources commercial fish-monitoring program.) at 16.5 feet in length. It should be noted that Greenland sharks have been recorded to reach lengths of 24 feet! Who knows how old they can get.
"This renders the eyes blind, however the shark just don't give a fuck."
I wish I lived 500 years. Underwater.
He's a Rock/water pokemon!
1:04 It hit the camera like it doesn't see anything...
imagine being this old wow like a 200 year old man just hanging about
What kind of wetsuit do you need to swim in arctic waters?
I was talking to my mom and she said she just wants to rip the parasite off 😂 I wonder what would happen tho
"Not many people know about it"
*25,000 views.*
I’m sure that seals probably drown looking for air holes and when they sink to the bottom of the ocean the sharks have their way with them, so to speak....
Stephen Cook no they actually hunt seals actively, there is a documentary on it called the corkscrew killer.
everyone should pay more attention to greenland it is important not just some piece of ice its neighbour canada needs to support it , greenlands population is 45,000 and part of north america , long live greenland from a englishman
Great informative video------thanks for posting and keeping us ocean lovers updated with marine life. Kathy kirkscubagear
Wonder what this shark was doing near the ocean surface?
The shark of the abyss
The guy looks like an older Michael Phelps.
I thought it was a copepod that fed on the sharks eye and not a worm?
I don't know there is a shark like that
Hello darkness my old friend
They dont live 200 years they live around 400 YEARS! SOME OVER 500
Just waiting for a mate
1:28 lol there’s a worm 🐛 boi swimmin around
Wiggle wiggle wiggle
A relative of Pacific Sleeper Shark.
It's the Artic Corkscrew killer
Dr. House?
Also known as a sleeper shark.
Older and stronger than a Relicanth! With better stats, too!
Or is Relicanth based on the Greenland shark?.....
its sow cute
That eye worm thing sounds awful.
Not just deep water
He said 200 years old but i just watch another episode and the guy said 400 years old im confused
So their teeth are like razors and the shark shake its prey and the teeth will eventually cut through.
Fascinating
