A clam dredged up off the coast of Iceland is thought to be more than 400 years old.

The clam, nicknamed Ming, is thought to be the longest-lived animal ever discovered, reports the BBC.

It is named after the Chinese dynasty in power when it was born.

Scientists said the mollusc, an ocean quahog clam, was aged between 405 and 410 years.

Researchers from Bangor University in north Wales said they calculated its age by counting rings on its shell.

According to the Guinness Book of Records, the longest-lived animal was a clam found in 1982 aged 220.

Unofficially, another clam - found in an Icelandic museum - was discovered to be 374-years-old, Bangor University said, making their clam at least 31 years older.

The clam was in its infancy when Queen Elizabeth I was on the throne and Shakespeare was writing his plays.

Professor Chris Richardson, from Bangor University's School of Ocean Sciences, said the clam's discovery could help shed light on how some animals can live to extraordinary ages.

"One of the reasons we think is that the animals have got some difference in cell turnover rates that we would associate with much shorter-lived animals," he said.
