Original Note:
There is absolutely no proof that the shark in this video is 392 years old. The oldest shark of the same species ever caught and studied (not this one, of course) was estimated to be 272-512 years old. https://www.newyorker.com/tech/annals-of-technology/the-strange-and-gruesome-story-of-the-greenland-shark-the-longest-living-vertebrate-on-earth "392" is an average of 272 and 512, which is meaningless in and of itself.
