The World's Oldest Animals Killed in Hand of Scientist
The world's oldest animals were killed at the hands of Bangor University in the UK scientist who is conducting research in 2006.
In 2006, one individual sea quahog (Arctica islandica) or a type of sea shells washed up on the beach area of Iceland. Scientists then
retrieve, open shell, and start analyzing. Thus the animal was killed automatically. ~ for Quahog Min ~
Nothing special at first. However, after doing the analysis, then the scientists were surprised to find out the age of quahog.
Based on a preliminary analysis of the time, scientists estimate, the quahog old 400 when arrested. Quahog it entered the Guinness Book of Records as the oldest animal in the world and is named after the Ming dynasty in China according the ruling when the individual is born.
After re-analysis conducted recently, scientists knew that the animal was 507 years old when arrested, about 100 years older than previously thought.
Either must be sad to know that the oldest animal in the world apparently killed. However, Paul Butler, one of the scientists involved in the analysis process recently, said that while there are 200 individual research captured. Each year, many quahog also captured.

Thus, it is possible quahog fisherman catch the same old or older than what we perceive, "he said as quoted by the Huffington Post.
Scientists themselves oldest quahog catch it to examine the effects of environmental changes, such as salinity, availability of food, temperature of sea water, and climate change on the lives of marine biota.
Scientists determine the age of quahog shells based on circle patterns are often called growth rings, the same as found in the tree.
Circular pattern is formed due to differences in shell growth during summer and winter. In the summer, a lot of food available so that the shell grows rapidly while in winter the opposite.

By the age of 507 years, meaning this quahog was born in 1499, before Columbus discovered America and the Netherlands before coming to Indonesia.
