Sharks Before Trees: An Ancient Fact

Did you know something truly astonishing about our planet's history? Long before forests

covered the land, a fearsome predator already ruled the seas. Sharks first appeared

over 450 million years ago. Now, consider trees. When do you

think they first emerged? The earliest known trees only date back about 390

million years. That's right! Sharks existed for over 60 million years before the

first trees. A truly ancient history beneath the waves!
