The Greenland Sleeper Shark — Somniosus microcephalus<\/em> — is a rather large, and strange, species of shark native to the icy waters of the North Atlantic, and is especially common in the region around Iceland and Greenland. The species has also been dubbed: the sleeper shark, ground shark, grey shark, gurry shark, and the Inuit name for it is Eqalussuaq<\/em>. They are the most-northerly shark species currently alive, and are well adapted to life in the frigid waters.<\/p>\n
