Scientific name:

Vagarix lusoria

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia.

Though now extinct, this marvelous creature once populated the land we now know as Britain, where its beard was prized for making beer. The ruthless hunting of the bearded clam by the Angles, Saxons, Jutes and Cockernees eventually brought about the extinction of the species in its home territory, forcing the use of hops instead.
