"Clam, 405, is oldest animal ever
It has been christened Ming and it s officially the oldest animal to have ever lived.
A British scientific team discovered the 405-year-old clam, named after the Chinese dynasty and not the former Liberal Democrat leader, at the bottom of the ocean, and hope its longevity will reveal the secrets of ageing.
So significant is the find that Help The Aged have awarded a £40,000 grant to the team to investigate how the molusc, born when Queen Elizabeth I was on the throne and William Shakespeare was writing The Merry Wives of Windsor, has survived over the centuries.
The record-breaking shellfish, 31 years older than the previous oldest animal, another clam, was caught last year when scientists from the Bangor University School of Ocean Sciences were dredging the seabed north of Iceland."

- Read the interesting story of a 405 yr old clam. I never knew they can live that long. The oldest prior to Ming was 375 yrs old. Murderers!
