Sharks are older than trees.
They're older than a lot of things. Land plants, Yellowstone, appendages,dinosaurs, doritos.
Appendages? Like, fins?
Like appendix I imagine.
He's thinking of penguins
But are younger than the mountains.
Some of it.
Ehhhh they're younger than some mountains though. There are ranges that are over a billion years old, but the Himalayas are "only" some 40-70 million years old, depending on when you start counting (40-50 if you actually start from being mountains, 70 if you start from "ground moves up")
Why did I read this to the tune of colors of the wind…
Sharks are older than the grinning bobcat
Well....
There's no shark without Mountain Mama
What do you think the first several hundreds of millions of years were like before they had Doritos?
I refuse to believe any animal is older than doritos
No they are wrong. Doritos are eternal.
