How long can the longest living shark live?
  • The Greenland shark has the longest known lifespan of all vertebrate species (estimated to be between 250 and 500 years), and is among the largest extant species of shark. It is a generalist feeder, consuming a variety of available foods.

Pretty amazing this possible that some sharks were alive long before we were a nation and whats more amazing is these little guys who may be able to live forever,

There is actually progress in this field. They study these creatures at a very low level, so the actual shape and size of these animals become less relevant. What happens inside the cell, what enzymes are activated and so on.

I am not really sort of focused on this myself, but these are two of the most quoted in the field. If you use them as a starting point, you will discover what there is this field.
