everyone has heard of the Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus, a joke made up for a poorly-thought out survey of what 1990s people believed on the internet, but somehow nobody has heard of the Mangrove Jingle Shell Clam, a real and amazing animal I learned about from @KateShaw

hopefully Dr. Dan Killam @dantheclamman can provide us all with more information on this animal.

Quahogs are VERY long-lived clams. This wise one was born 100 years before Shakespeare. Cherish them.

If you eat them, venerate their little clam bodies first.
