Fun Fact:

Since most are raised as food, a clam’s average lifespan is about 1 year. But in the wild some live centuries. In 2007, a quahog clam found at a depth of 80 meters off Iceland’s coast became the world’s longest-lived animal, at 405 years based on the number of shell rings. During ovulation, females release up to 5 million eggs! To make baby clams she must suck in water containing a male’s sperm.
