Study: Sharks are older than trees and dinosaurs
The shark

Greenland sharks are the longest known vertebrates on Earth, according to a study published in the journal Science. According to the researchers, North Atlantic species are likely to live an average of at least 272 years and often do not reach maturity until they are 150 years old.

The earliest fossil evidence of sharks dates back to 450 million years ago, meaning these creatures were around at least 90 million years before trees and 190 million years before dinosaurs.

Sharks have been around since before Pangea broke up, said Catherine Macdonald, director of the Field School and a lecturer at the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences. (There was a single giant continent called Pangea about 250 million years ago.)

Additionally, sharks have survived five mass extinctions, one of which wiped out an estimated 96% of all marine life.
