The Greenland shark is a huge, slow shark that lives in the cold, deep waters of the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans. It is famous for living longer than any known vertebrate (animal with a backbone). Its flesh is poisonous to eat unless it is specially prepared.1

Strupena ob ugrizu ali ob dotiku? Nekatere živali strup vbrizgajo z ugrizom ali pikom: te so strupene ob ugrizu ali piku. Druge so škodljive, če se jih dotakneš ali jih poješ: te so strupene za dotik ali zaužitje. Ta žival je strupena za dotik ali zaužitje.

It lives in cold deep water, usually between 100 and 1,200 metres down, where temperatures range from -1.1 to 7.4 °C. In winter it gathers in shallower water for warmth. It is sometimes seen around fishing boats and herds of seals, where it is drawn by the smell of rotting meat.1

Kaj je?
It is both a scavenger and an active predator, eating fish, seals, squid and sometimes small whales. It may ambush seals while they are asleep, and it uses suction to draw prey into its mouth. It also eats carrion.1

Kako jo prepoznaš

  • A thickset, heavy body with a short, rounded snout1
  • Small eyes and small dorsal and pectoral fins1
  • Five very small gill openings for its size1
  • Colour ranges from pale creamy-grey to blackish-brown, usually uniform, sometimes with whitish spots or faint dark streaks on the back1
  • Often has small parasitic copepods (crustaceans) attached to its eyes1

Moč strupa

Strupena za zaužitje

Škodljiva je samo, če jo kaj poje.

Kaj naredi njen strup, če se je dotakneš ali jo poješ?

The shark is not venomous. Its meat is poisonous to mammals because it contains high levels of trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), a natural chemical that makes the flesh toxic.1

Kako nevarna je za ljudi?

Nevarnost za ljudi: BolečeLahko zelo boli, a skoraj nikoli ni resno.

Greenland sharks are not considered a threat to people, because they live deep in remote, cold waters. Only one possible attack is recorded, in 1936, and it was never linked to this species. One unverified report from around 1859 describes a human leg found in a shark's stomach.1

Kaj naredi, ko se prestraši?

When hauled onto a boat, it thrashes its tail so violently that it is dangerous to stand near it, and its muscles can still twitch after death.1

Če se je je kdo dotaknil ali jo pojedel

  • Če jo je kdo pojedel ali ima po zaužitju simptome: takoj pokliči številko za klic v sili ali center za zastrupitve.

Vedno najprej pokliči številko za klic v sili (112, 000, 911). To so splošna navodila za prvo pomoč, ne zdravniški nasvet. Osnove prve pomoči

Ostani varen

  • Nikoli se ne dotikaj divje živali, je ne lovi in je ne draži, tudi če je majhna in tudi če je videti, kot da spi ali je mrtva.
  • Pusti ji prostor. Če jo srečaš, ostani miren, počasi stopi nazaj in jo pusti, da gre svojo pot.
  • Če si se je dotaknil ali jo pojedel: ne drgni si oči ali ust, umij si roke in poišči zdravniško pomoč.

Ne preži nate. Njen strup je tam samo zato, da je nihče ne poje. Več o varnosti

Dejstva

1

It is thought to have the longest lifespan of any known vertebrate, estimated at between 272 and 510 years.1

2

It is one of the slowest-swimming fish for its size, with a fastest cruising speed of about 2.7 km/h.1

3

Parasitic copepods often attach to its eyes and can damage them, but this does not seem to shorten its life, because it relies mainly on smell and hearing.1

4

It is one of the largest shark species alive, with the largest confirmed specimen weighing around 1,023 kg.1

5

In Iceland, a specially treated form of its meat is eaten as a pungent delicacy called kæstur hákarl.1

6

Its slow metabolism is thought to be linked to its very long life, although this is still a hypothesis.1

Razbijalec mitov

Mit: The Greenland shark is a dangerous threat to humans.

Resnica: It is not considered a threat to people. It lives deep in cold, remote waters, and the only report of a possible attack was never confirmed as this species.1
