Sharks are older than trees
Sharks have existed for over 450 million years, predating the first trees which appeared around 350 million years ago. Sharks survived all five of Earth's major mass extinction events, making them one of the most resilient creatures to ever evolve.

Mind-blowing. Sharks were swimming around before trees even existed!
Even more incredible when you realise they outlived the dinosaurs too.
