        Greenland sharks are almost always blind as adults - so perhaps not quite as cruel as it appears.

        Interesting. Thank you for the info. It must be hard to balance research ideas/needs and ethical considerations. Funny the shark seemed docile and not scary!

        They've got a top speed of like 3mph, they're quite docile. They don't really hunt, just eat whatever they happen to bump into.

        Are they blinding these sharks just to age them??? Sounds harsh if it's going to live another 200 years simply so we could satisfy a curiosity.

        Wow, really wondering how they managed to "accidentally catch" 28 of these sharks during one event though, since they refer to bycatching as a "phenomenon" in the article :/

        They were collected over years through their fisheries monitoring program. Often, there is an observer on fishing boats who's job it is to record bycatch, etc. They must have had specific instructions to set aside Greenland sharks for further study

        Greenland sharks are super cool. They eat polar bears.

        YES WAY!!! I knew they were some of the longest lived animals on the planet but the new 500 year+ lifespan estimate is super cool.
