Twitter Thread

A shark was recently discovered in the Arctic Ocean. Not just any regular shark, oh no, this shark discovered was found to be 392-years-old. 

Let's think about that for a second. 

Three-hundred and ninety-two years old. 

And while researching this shark, it turns out ANOTHER shark was discovered in 2019, in the Northern Atlantic, that scientists have reason to believe it was born as early as 1505. That means, this Greenland shark was born before Shakespeare and is -- wait for it -- FIVE-HUNDRED AND TWELVE years old! 

The Greenland shark could very well be the world oldest living vertebrate. But we're here to talk about the 392-year-old shark that caused the follow entertaining Twitter thread.

All we can take away from this is that sharks are still terrifying but kinda sorta incredible... don't you think?

Oh, classic Chunk! This Twitter thread may be a tad bit old but it makes us smile so....here it is. 

A Pomeranian named Chunk decided to run up to dogs much, much larger than him, but it's his owner's commentary that got us cackling. 

And it's so delightful we would definitely read it again. 

Rachael Bale, a senior editor at National Geographic, documented the story of a family of geese after the mother laid eggs on the third floor of the network's building in Washington DC. The tale began in early April when the eggs were laid and ended on Tuesday when the family were taken to safety.

Artist @blacksmoke1033 shared the resulting photos after a jackdaw bird (tentatively named Mister Meaner or Edgar Allan Foe) fell down the chimney.

@TeganG_shared on twitter how she found a dog in a rural area, briefly reunited him with his siblings and then adopted him.

Would you buy an island to keep wild animals safe if you could? @rickygervais has got people talking about how to make it happen. After the comedian asked if he was allowed to "build a little outdoor arc", people chimed in with humorous tips, genuine concerns and even some expert advice.
