Scientists Find Oldest Living Animal, Then Kill It

<< < (2/7) > >>

ChadTower:

And they had no idea it would be that old until they had killed it. 

Of course, they did say they hope to find more of them that age.

patrickl:
Yeah, I'm afraid they were purposefully looking for old clams. The older the clam the more history they get from of it.

ChadTower:

Must... resist... clam joke...

Ed_McCarron:

I hope they killed it to lightly batter it, fry it, and serve it with melted butter.

patrickl:
Fresh clam ... 400 years old.

BBC News: Ming the clam is 'oldest animal'

Guess old clams (used to check climate change and now also to combat aging) will go the way of the rhino horn.
