Nautilus: The Timeless "Living Fossil"
The nautilus, a member of the Nautilidae family, is a fascinating marine mollusk often called a "living fossil" because it has remained relatively unchanged for over 500 million years! These cephalopods are famous for their beautiful spiral shells, which are divided into chambers that help them control buoyancy as they gracefully navigate the deep oceans of the Indo-Pacific.
Unlike their relatives like squids and octopuses, nautiluses have up to 90 tentacles without suckers, which they use to grab food like crustaceans and carrion. They move using jet propulsion, drawing water in and out of their shells.
Nautiluses have simple pinhole eyes and rely more on their sense of smell to explore their surroundings. Despite their slow and ancient appearance, these creatures are surprisingly resilient, living up to 20 years—a long life for cephalopods!
With their stunning shells and ancient lineage, nautiluses are both a marine marvel and a symbol of evolutionary endurance. 🌊🐚
