For the first time in the West Caribbean seawater, Greenland sharks can live for up to 500 years

According to the British "Mirror" reported on August 10, a rare Green Shark appeared on the coast of Belitz, a country in Central America. This is the first time that this shark was found in the Western Caribbean seawater.

Green Shark usually lives deep in the cold waters of the Arctic, but this time it appeared in the warm Caribbean waters that were more than 6,000 kilometers away, which made scientists feel incredible. At that time, a research team was capturing tiger sharks on the boat, and the Greenland shark, which seemed to fall off, suddenly appeared in front of them.

Devanshi Kasana, a doctoral student on the Florida International University on board, said: "I thought it was very special at first, like the hexagonal shark living in deep water near the coral reef. Fishermen also felt that it was unusual. I have never seen such a shark. "

Kasana took a picture of this mysterious creature and sent the photo to her mentor. Her instructor said that it seemed to be a Green shark and was quickly confirmed by experts. In addition, there is another possibility that this shark may be a hybrid variety of Greenland sharks and Pacific Sleeping sharks. Florida International University said this was the first time that this large shark was found in the West Caribbean seawater near the world's second largest coral reef.

The half -blind Green Shark is rare. They are the longest -known life spinal vertebrates. Some Green sharks can live 250 to 500 years. (Compilation report of China Youth Network)
