Sharks Are Older Than Trees

Fun Fact You Probably Didn’t Know… Did you know that sharks existed before trees?

Yeah—sharks have been around for over 400 million years, while the first

trees didn’t appear until about 350 million years ago. That means sharks were swimming in

the ocean before forests even existed, before dinosaurs, before grass,

and before Saturn even had its rings. So the next time you see a shark, just remember…

that thing is older than most life on Earth. Crazy, right?
