    Sharks have existed for so long that they have made almost TWO orbits around the milky way.

    The species has existed for longer than Pleiades

        Not to continue to blow your mind but their species is old enough to have witnessed the first light from the birth of the North star (if they weren’t busy being absolutely magnificent apex predators)
