Dating a Greenland Shark. Field Notes by Julius Nielsen. From Natural History magazine Feb. 2017 - on sale now. Far too much for me to hand copy, but according to studies, the details in the magazine, the Greenland shark is probably the longest-living vertebrate animal on Earth today. They probably live ( according to research ) to be more than 250 years old, not reaching sexual maturity until about age 134 years and a length of about 400 cm ( 13 feet ). The only known animal which probably outlives the Greenland shark is the quahog ( Arctica islandica ), a clam. An individual was determined by Paul Butler at Bangor University ( UK ) to be 507 years old.
