'Ming,' World's Oldest Animal, Is 100 Years Older Than Previously Thought. If the elderly deserve respect, scientists didn't show much in 2006 when they killed the world's oldest animal. To be fair, they didn't know it was the world's oldest at the time. But seven years later, researchers have determined that Ming the clam, an ocean quahog, or Arctica islandica, was actually 507 years old -- 100 years older than previously estimated. That makes the clam the longest-lived [multicellular] animal so far reported whose age at death can be accurately determined.. Ming's shell measures 3.42 inches long, 2.85 inches high (with a max height of 3.23 inches) and 1.89 inches wide.
