A Greenland shark slowly swims away from a boat in northwestern Greenland. A new report says this species of shark is Earth’s oldest living animal with a backbone.

But it’s certainly a start. “The Greenland Shark’s genome is a quintessential step for understanding the molecular mechanisms of aging in this exceptionally long-lived species,” Hoffmann said.

In Greenland’s permafrost, scientists discovered two-million-year-old genetic material from scores of plant and animal species, including mastodons, geese, lemmings and ants.

It's no fish tale: The Greenland shark is the longest-lived vertebrate on the planet, a new study says. The animal, native to the cold, deep waters of the North Atlantic, can live to at least 272 ...
