Harrrr Mateys

It be fish day Wednesday Harrrrrr. Today yer Cap'n is going to do the Greenland shark Harrrrr.

This be the Greenland shark Harrrrr. Not the cutest thing under the sea Harrrrr. There colors range from Brown, black, to purple to purplish gray, to slate gray Harrrr. Many of them have dark bands or white spots Harrrr.

This shark is mainly a cold water shark and is found in the Atlantic Ocean in polar lattitudes but sometimes found further south in the Gulf of Maine and sometimes the Gulf of Mexico Harrr. During the summer it likes to go down in the depths but during the cold winter months it is found close to the surface near the ice floes Harrrr. The Greenland sharks feeds on fish, sea lions seals and crustations Harrrr.
Look at that mouth, it looks hungry Harrrr. The Greenland shark used to be fished for the oil in its liver Harrrr. The Greenland shark meat is poisonous Harrrrr. If ye mates have to eat him ye have to boil the meat several times or dry it Harrrrrr. Does not sound that tasty to the Cap'n Harr. It be the one shark that kill you two ways, it eats you or you eat it. Harrrrr

Danger rating is Dangerous due to its size
