Just Kidding, John McCain is only 142 years old.

Researchers from the Norwegian Polar Institute in Tromso have been investigating the disappearance of large numbers of Harbor Seals in the Arctic Svalbard archipelago. They suspected the Greenland Shark, a Shark known to grow over 20 feet long and live to be 200 years old. One of the Greenland Sharks they dissected contained the jaw bone of a Polar Bear.

Greenland Shark...they are creepy.

Scientists don't know for sure whether the Shark ate the Polar Bear live as it swam, or simply scavenged its corpse. Word has it that all the top wildlife filmmakers and underwater photographers are rushing to the arctic to photograph any potential jam activity. And they may have a lot of it. Polar Bears like to swim, and they will be doing a lot more of it because climate change is quickly melting the polar ice caps. If water temps rise--which they will--other large Shark species may start migrating north in search of large prey.
Swim Faster White Boy!

Again, we must repeat that it is still unknown whether Greenland Sharks are actively preying on live Polar Bears. With all the climate change, strange things are evolving north of the Arctic Circle.
Thank you, Global Warming.
