The ocean quahog is large bivalve that can reach a height of up to 10 cm. It grows rather rapidly during the first years, but the growth slows down after it reaches sexual maturity at the age of about 20 years, at the size of 6 to 7 cm. The ocean quahog can live to a very old age; the oldest individual measured in Icelandic waters was estimated to be about 400 years old. This makes the ocean quahog the longest lived animal on earth. The ocean quahog lives buried in the sediment so only a small opening of the shell is visible.
Another thing that's interesting is that Quahog is apparently located in the West Bay, yet the name is pronounced ko-hog.. West Bay Rhode Islanders generally pronounce this word kwa-hog.. If you want to hear it pronounced ko-hog you'll need to visit Rhode Island's East Bay or southeastern Massachusetts.8E1, Road to the Multiverse, begins at the Quahog Clam Day festival, where you can play Shoot the Clam, chow down on some stuffed clams, and view the Half Man Half Clam in the sideshow. The closest real-life analog is probably Warren's annual Quahog Festival, which takes place in July.
