Greenland sharks are a fascinating species, one researchers know relatively little about - but that could change! It takes just 15 minutes to tag a single shark and the new information acquired could pay off for years to come. This group of scientists managed to measure the metabolic rate of a Greenland shark for first time ever! These researchers, in Nunavut for "narwhal camp," managed to tag 34 Greenland sharks as part of a larger narwhal tagging program and ecosystem study. Narwhal camp is an annual event that brings scientists from around Canada together to learn more about Arctic species. Held near Pond Inlet, Nunavut last summer, it's an event WWF-Canada helps support through our Arctic Species Conservation Fund.
