Greenland Sharks are on 2 different episodes, and are #6 on Super Sharks, and #1 on Odd Couples (paired with Ommatokoita). They live in the waters of the Arctic, the last place you would expect to find a shark. They can catch fast moving fish, even though most of them are blind. This is because they have a parasite scrapping away at the corner of their eye. However, this doesn't affect them as much as it affects most animals. This is because they have an amazing sense of smell. As a matter of fact, the parasite helps them. Because the parasite looks so much like a worm, it lures in fish. The Greenland shark lost its sight, but gained a fishing lure, and in the freezing waters of the Arctic, where food is scarce, that may be more important.

  • If following the countdown of extreme Super Sharks, here is a link to the next contender, in which its nose turns it into every sailor's nightmare.
