A clam named 'Ming' has been confirmed as the world’s oldest animal at 507 years old.
Ming saw off Queen Elizabeth I, the English Civil War, the entire Enlightenment, the Industrial Revolution and two World Wars.

Not knowing the long life of the mollusc, researchers at Bangor University opened its shell for analysis, killing Ming in the process.

Killed in the name of science. I guess that lends new meaning to the phrase "happy as a clam."

Much done in the name of science is profoundly stupid.

I heard he was coming out as a bi-valve but
that was just a rumor.
