From Mother Nature Network:
Imagine a shark that grows as large as a great white, has toxic, urea-soaked flesh, and dines on an assortment of (marine) mammals (some specimens have been found with horse and reindeer in their stomachs).
The Greenland shark is native to the waters of the north Atlantic Ocean, living farther north than any other shark species.
The shark is known to live for as long as 200 years. The oldest individuals are the ones known to reach massive sizes (possibly as long as 24 feet), rivaling the great white shark.
One of the shark’s other unusual attributes includes its poisonous, urea-laced flesh, which makes the animal hazardous to eat.
Interestingly, the toxic content of its flesh comes not from the urea, but rather from the presence of trimethylamine oxide, a toxin that can produce symptoms similar to drunkenness when consumed.
Even so, local Inuits have learned to make the flesh palatable by boiling it or fermenting it for several months.
