The Greenland shark (Somniosus microcephalus), also known as the gurry shark or grey shark, or by the Inuit name eqalussuaq, is a large shark of the family Somniosidae ("sleeper sharks") that is native to the waters of the North Atlantic Ocean around Canada, Greenland, Norway and Iceland. These sharks live farther north than any other shark species. Many of the species' adaptations are due to it being the only truly sub-Arctic species of shark.
