Clam, 405, is oldest animal ever. It has been christened Ming and it's officially the oldest animal to have ever lived.

The quahog (pronounced coe-hog) is a species of hard-shelled clam and the one we most commonly enjoy in our chowders and po boys. All those other names - from little neck on up - are this same species of clam and just refer to how large the clam has grown. Little Neck: The smallest size of clam, amounting to 7-10 clams per pound. Cherry Stone: A little larger, you'll get 6-10 cherry stone clams per pound. Top Neck: These are sometimes also labeled as count neck clams, and they equal roughly 4 clams per pound.
