00:04Ever wonder what it's like to take a nap?
00:07For 400 years?
00:09Deep in the frigid, dark waters of the Arctic
00:12lives a creature that does just that.
00:15The Greenland shark.
00:17This isn't science fiction.
00:19This is real life.
00:21These ancient giants are the longest living vertebrates on Earth,
00:25cruising the abyss at a super slow pace.

00:33They grow less than a centimeter a year
00:36and don't even reach maturity until they're about 150 years old.
00:41Imagine waiting a century and a half for your sweet 16.
