    Unfortunately (or fortunately?) this appears to be untrue.

    Polaris is a cluster of stars formed about 2 billion years ago. Sharks originated about 450 million years ago.

    One star of Polaris (Aa) appears to be 50 million years old, but it seems likely due to a collision of stars which added mass to it.
