I found this article cruising new discoveries in the news.

www.world-science.net

Can you im­ag­ine liv­ing four cen­turies? Sci­en­tists say they’ve found an an­i­mal that did just that: a qua­hog clam, Arc­tica is­landica, that lived and grew in the cold wa­ters off Ice­land’s north coast for at least that long.


Four hundred years! Only to be dredged up by scientists, how long could this clam have lived if it was allowed to remain in it's watery home?

Nature is amazing!

Reports that the scientists celebrated with a bowl of chowder remain unconfirmed

I find this infuriating. To kill it after 400 years of life is a desecration.
