Chambered Nautilus Eating Krill

[kishicavali]

People are thinking these are extinct. They're confusing it with the ammonite.

I love how it bobbles around like it’s hanging on a string lol

Fascinating creatures.. can't explain how they're still alive but I'm really glad they are and hope they stick around..

[sodreir.]

500 million years after and they are still here… bravo

Could easily pass for an alien life form in a Sci Fi flick.
Strange and wonderful critter

Thank you! Most footage you see of these animals is them just floating around, and the primary focus is on how they're living fossils. It's cool to see footage of its behaviors, and how it actually has a thought process that displays intent and purpose, and not just aimlessly scooting around through the water.

How do these things even survive in modern oceans? Literally anything with a stinger/jaws with hinges could make an easy meal outta these guys... huh, nature is always full of surprises...

It looks like one of the pre historic creatures millions of years ago

[williamgrand]

they're just floaty snails with mustaches

If an ocean dwelling dinosaur was to be brought back to life, it’ll meet the nautilus in an aquarium and ask “oh they brought you back as well?” And the nautilus with say with pride “nah man, I made it all the way alive!”

I specifically had to search for "nautilus eating", because when I tried to search for "nautilus feeding" I kept getting League of Legends videos.

Snail:"who are you!?"

Nautilus:"I am you but a squid-shell version of the sea"

It's truly a wonder how these prehistoric creatures have managed to outlive so many other creatures throughout their gazillion years of existence on this planet. It's also truly a wonder as to how evolution favored such strange body shape.

[painfall]

The Living fossil it's damn majestic alright

[MyPSIsOnFirePleaseHelp]

It's kinda cute looking when it moves...
Sad that these are a threatened species... Yeah, they have beautiful shells, but they're endangered and should be kept alive for as long as possible.
