The oldest animal in the world was 405 years old
A clam is the oldest living animal ever discovered
The clam, which is nicknamed ‘Ming’, was 405 years old. The clam was caught off the coast of Iceland in 2007.
Remarkable fact is that Ming died during the examination by researches. So the clam could have lived even past 405 years, it is unknown how much longer Ming could have lived.
Scientists examine clams like Ming in the hope to discover helpful clues about the aging process and how some animals seem to ‘escape’ old age.
