Researchers have discovered that the remarkable longevity of Greenland sharks, which can live over 500 years, is attributed to their stable metabolic rates that do not change with age. This challenges previous assumptions that their long lifespan was linked to their cold environment or minimal movement. The findings, presented at a recent biological conference, suggest that Greenland sharks age differently than other species, which could have important implications for their adaptation to climate change.
