🦈 #shark the #lanternshark having different upper and lower teeth is not unique, it's just a really good example. For comparison, here are the upper and lower teeth of a #Greenlandshark. Again, upper teeth hold prey lower teeth cut.

#FishyFriday the Greenland sharks (Somniosus Microcephalus) can live up to 500 years thanks to a very slow metabolism and the cold Arctic ocean they inhabit! 🦈❄️🌊

Greenland sharks are the longest living vertebrate species that we know of. the oldest one ever recorded was around 400 years old but it’s likely they can live to over 500

A couple of #kaiju designs I drew in the last year or so, mostly inspired by #ultraman, #mechanime like #getterrobo, #godzilla films and various games.

Theirs also some design elements from actual animals such as the #greenlandshark, #spinosaurus, #stingray and #pterasaurs.

A female Greenland shark was found to be around 400 years old. She’s been swimming through the cold ocean depths since the 1600s, long before cars, phones, electricity, or even the idea of modern life existed.

Baldur’s Gate 3’s Astarion. He is wearing a red long sleeve shirt that says “ohwow” on it. He is holding a can of Holkeri (Greenland shark) in his hand like the shamwow guy. There is a mascot of a Greenland shark behind him with a tear in its eye. There is text overlay that says “Holkeri, it’s Greenland shark. Hey, maybe it’s Mystra!”

Very happy to have been invited by @liberation.fr to comment on a new study showing that the Greenland shark is not blind. 🦈🔬

Très heureux d’avoir été convié par Libération à commenter la nouvelle étude montrant que le requin du Groenland n’est pas aveugle.

liberation.fr Libération @liberation.fr · Feb 2
Selon une étude de référence, le requin du Groenland peut vivre plus de 250 ans, peut-être même jusqu'à 400 ans. Et finalement, non, il n'est pas aveugle : son système visuel semble conçu pour durer des siècles.
Non, le requin du Groenland n’est pas aveugle, il pourrait même nous aider à guérir nos maladies oculaires
L’étude des infatigables yeux de ce poisson géant pourrait s’avérer utile pour lutter contre certaines maladies humaines comme le glaucome et la dégénérescence maculaire.
