Fun fact: Sharks have been around longer than trees
Around 360 million years ago, the now-extinct Archaeopteris tree set the precedent for the modern-day tree, according to a 1999 study by Virginia Tech.
Sharks on the other hand have been around for 400 million years and have survived at least four global mass extinctions along the way, according to the Pelagic Shark Research Foundation.
We humans — Homo sapiens to be exact — have only existed for around 300,000 years. With that being said, here’s your reminder to respect your elders!
