The Oldest Known Animal

The oldest known animal is a 507-year-old clam named Ming, discovered off the coast of Iceland. It was born in 1499, during the reign of the Ming dynasty in China, hence its name.
 
Wow, Ming the clam is seriously ancient! 🎉 Born in 1499, during the Ming dynasty, it’s incredible to think about how it witnessed so much history. ✨ Imagine all the changes it’s seen over those 507 years!
 
507 years old? That's mind-blowing! 🤯 It's amazing to think about how different the world was when Ming was born. I wonder if Ming has given birth (if she's a female). 🤔
