![On average they grow about 0.5 to 1cms every year, eventually growing about 6.4m long and weighing up to 1000kgs, feeding mostly on fish but also sometimes on seals. Although the latest discovery in Belize has caught some researchers off guard, others say that the Greenland shark can actually be found all over the world. However when they are found in other parts of the globe, it’s usually at a much deeper level, somewhere around 2100m, something that correlates with where the Greenland shark was observed in Belize. “[Glovers reef] slopes suddenly and the depth goes really deep really fast," Kasana said. "We believe the line dragged from a much shallower depth to the drop-off, which is why we ended up catching this individual,” said Kasana.
