And even older than Polaris, the north star. It’s only 70 million years old.
Also older than the rings of Saturn
The brightest of the three stars in the Polaris system at least.
Well, Polaris is made up of three stars and only one of them is estimated to be younger than sharks. Still cool, though.
Jellyfish, which are older than bones and eyes: “pathetic”
“Am I a joke to you?”
Is this why we’re trying boil the oceans and make them toxic?
Only way to beat primordial horrors beyond our comprehension
False
Sharks live 20-30 years
I’ve already outlived they bitch asses

Deeper than the mountains… older than the trees…?
John Denver was singing about sharks?
It’s hard to fathom the cultural sensation that was Jaws and the deep effect it had on Denver.
I thought it was crocodiles that were the oldest, turns out it’s sharks, specifically Greenland shark
Older than Saturn’s rings!
This statement does not make sense. If they only survived 4 out of 5 extinction events then there should be no more sharks alive today.
They weren’t around yet during the first one
OK, I think I get it now. But it sounds a bit confusing. If you are listing events that sharks were not present for, then you might as well say something like Sharks survived the Big Bang
Kind of? It’s referencing a well known set of mass extinctions that are talked about together, the ‘Big Five’, but it also is worded poorly. Instead something like “Sharks have survived the most recent four of the ‘Big Five’ mass extinction events.” might be better?
To clarify, “older than trees” doesn’t mean older than currently living trees. It means older than the very first trees. As in, before plants figured out how to grow wood.

Sharks and crocs gotta outlive us all man. It would be such a tragedy if they don’t and it was our fault
