They can live for far longer than 200yrs and they detect prey by detecting miniscule electrical currents.
Beutiful creatures.
All sharks.
And horribly misunderstood.

asks shark
"Uh, yeah dude, there's water and shit, and it's blue, and there are like some fish that I see once in a while."
Imagine one of these swimming around when Columbus discovered America or when the French revolution broke out.
Fascinating

That's a fantastic quote, can I use it in my class? I'll credit you.
That website is wrong. Frilled sharks (Chlamydoselachus anguineus) are in a different Genus, Family and Order from Greenland sharks (Somniosus microcephalus: Family - Somniosidae, Order - Squaliformes). Trust me, I study this species - it has FIVE gill slits. "Order Summary for Squaliformes: Two dorsal fins, with or without spines; anal fin absent; five gill slits; spiracles present; nictitating lower eyelid absent. Many species are known from deep water." http://www.fishbase.org/summary/OrdersSummary.php?order=Squaliformes
"Frilled sharks, Chlamydoselachus anguineus (Garman, 1884), aka frill sharks, frill-gilled sharks, Greenland sharks, scaffold sharks, and silk sharks are members of the most ancient frill and cow sharks order, Hexanchiformes. Hexanchiform sharks have a single dorsal fin, either six or seven gill slits (versus the 5 found in all other existing sharks), and no nictitating membranes (protective third eyelids)"

Lol, no it doesn't. It has 5 gills, like most other sharks. Don't believe me, count them for yourself: http://tiburonesengalicia.blogspot.com/2014/11/tiburon-de-groenlandia-somniosus.html
