Arctic Predators

Besides the dinosaurs’ existence, are you aware of this shark’s over four centuries-long lifespans? Found beneath the deep polar waters near Greenland is a southern sleeping shark also known as Somniosus antarcticus. They are purportedly as blind as a bat and can grow to over 12-feet! Though they swim at an intensely slow pace, these massive predators are voraciously hungry and will swallow anything in their pathway, including humans.

Scientists keep finding fascinating facts in the farthest parts of the planet and discover hidden secrets that lie underneath the surface – especially what eerily lounges below the thick layers of ice in far polar regions.
