Did you see the news about the very rare shark that washed up on a beach in Co Sligo?! It was a Greenland shark, a species that can live for hundreds of years!
Watch the video up top from Auntie B's Fantastic Facts to find out more. When it comes to fact-tastic creatures, don't forget the shark.
- The fact is, sharks have no bones. Their skeletons are made of cartilage, which is what our ears and nose are made of.
- The whale shark is the biggest. It can be longer than a school bus and way more than two African elephants.
- And what about the Greenland shark? It lives in really deep cold water, which helps keep it alive for ages. In fact, some Greenland sharks could be 300 years old.
