Scientists didn't actually kill the world's oldest animal, a clam, just to find out how old it was. Shell valves from a specimen of Arctica islandica that was found to have lived for approximately 507 years are pictured here.

The geoduck clam (pronounced gooeÂ­duck) is the largest bivalve along Puget Sound and the largest burrowing clam in the world. Also one of the oldest animals in the world, geoducks can live as long as 146 years.n old postcard pokes fun at gathering the geoduck. There are tales of geoducks weighing up to 20 pounds.
