Greenland shark could have lived for up to 400 years, scientists say

Very interesting article. It raises a question in my mind. The article mentions a whale 211 years old. another article I reads recently indicated there was a female Orcs that was over 100. I'm sure there are other long lived creatures of the deep out there. Also there was a picture of a flounder weighing over 400lbs. How old was it. It looked to be 10 to 12 feet long. It was huge.
The question I have is what is it about these creatures that lets them live for centuries and we, humanity, leave only a century or less and in our old age are relatively infirm.
Just some food for thought.
