Listen "🦈 The Living Time Capsule"
Episode Synopsis
Beneath the frozen waters of the Arctic drifts one of the most extraordinary creatures on Earth, the Greenland shark. This slow-moving giant has witnessed centuries pass in silence, from the age of Shakespeare to the modern world. In this episode, we journey into the deep to uncover how it survives where almost nothing else can, with natural antifreeze coursing through its body and senses so refined it can hunt in total darkness. We explore the mysteries that still surround it, including how it reproduces, how long it truly lives, and what its ancient body reveals about the history of ocean pollution. The Greenland shark is more than an animal; it is a living time capsule carrying the story of our planet’s past, present, and uncertain future.#GreenlandShark #DeepSeaMysteries #OceanExploration #MarineBiology #ArcticOcean #LongestLivingAnimal #SaltwaterStories #SharkFacts #ClimateChangeImpact #OceanConservation #OceanLiteracy
