#Nautilus Without Shell

✨ Meet one of Palau’s most extraordinary ocean treasures: the Palau nautilus (Nautilus belauensis). These ancient mariners—often called “living fossils”—have survived in our oceans for more than 500 million years. But what makes them truly special? 🌊🐚 👉 They’re endemic to Palau, meaning they’re found nowhere else on Earth. 👉 Their beautifully spiralled shells help them float and dive using chambers filled with gas and liquid. 👉 At night, they rise from the deep to feed, then return to the twilight depths by day. Palau’s nautilus is a reminder of just how unique our reefs and surrounding waters are. Protecting them means protecting a species that carries the history of the ocean in its shell. 💙 📍 Have you ever seen a nautilus shell up close? #Palau #AquariumLife #MarineScience #Nautilus #EndemicSpecies #OceanWonder #MarineScience

The last #ROVHercules dive of 2024 certainly was the #grandfinale of the season: our #CorpsofExploration witnessed four #Palaunautilus individuals (Nautilus belauensis) in #Palau’s #GermanChannel! These are the first sightings of #nautiloids — the most primitive #cephalopods — from #EVNautilus after 1000+ ROV dives over the last 15 years of operations.

We’re continuing the love this #biodiversitymonth by sharing our favourites, like the #Nautilus. A type of mollusc, nautilus are different from their distant cousins of squid, octopi and cuttlefish, by keeping their soft body encased inside a hard external shell. These 'living fossils,' are admired for their beauty and swimming abilities. They swim using jet propulsion and their depth is regulated by altering the amount of gas and water in the shell chambers. #greatbarrierreef #underwaterwildlife #uniquespecies #vulnerablespecies #uniteforthereef

Have you ever seen the unique #undersea #snailfish? Our #CorpsofExploration found this fish at almost 2,800 meters while exploring “Seamount 9” in the #PacificRemoteIslands waters. It may look like a character from an animated film, but this “ugly cute” snailfish is actually a pretty common sight in the marine world. Belonging to the #Liparidae family, these marine ray-finned fishes are widely distributed across the global #ocean, both in latitude and depth. Some snailfish species have even been found in the #MarianaTrench, over 8,000 meters deep! #fish #deepsea #deepseafish #marinebiology #oceanvideo #fishvideo #nautiluslive

Nautiluses are ancient creatures, dating back over 500 million years. They use jet propulsion for movement and have a unique chambered shell, with gas-filled compartments to control buoyancy. Despite their longevity, nautilus populations are declining due to overfishing and habitat destruction. #nautilus #chamberednautilus #sea #sealife #seaanimals #facts

It’s always a pleasure finding these nautilus fossils. Especially when they’re in such great condition ❤️ #nautilius #agate #agatehunting #rockhounding #nautilusfossil #beachcombing #gem #gems #gemstones #crystal #crystals #beachfinds #chalcedony #fossicking #oregoncoast #oregonagates #iloverocks #beachwalks #tidepools #hidengems #hiddentreasurer #geology #bandedagate #explore #hobby #polishedagate #blueagate #carnelian

Deep-sea dwelling nautilists are fascinating creatures: These cephalopods are a distant cousin to octopi and according to fossil records, they've been cruising around the ocean for about 500 million years. Yet despite surviving for so long, humans are putting them at risk thanks to using their shells for decorations and accessories, like bolo ties. Sadly, you can buy these things (and many others) on Etsy or eBay — but you shouldn't. Every sale helps push species like the nautilus closer to extinction. Despite the companies' stated wildlife policies, sellers on Etsy and eBay rake in money on wildlife knickknacks, decor, clothing, and more. And the United States is a major consumer of these products. We are calling on these platforms to commit to ending these sales by the end of the year.

Palau, Micronesia. El nautilo emperador o Nautilus (Nautilus pompilius), como se le llama comúnmente, puede medir aproximadamente unos 30 centímetros de ancho. El crustáceo forma cámaras (hasta 30 en edad adulta) para vivir dentro de la concha, generalmente ocupa la cámara más externa. La concha puede ser blanca con bandas rojas. En el exterior solo se observan hasta 90 brazos o tentáculos (cirros sin ventosas). Sus conchas aparecen en fósiles encontrados, con la misma estructura (tamaño y forma) que las especies vivas. Según la Unión Internacional para la Conservación de la Naturaleza, se encuentra en estado vulnerable, pero por datos insuficientes, ya que su hábitat se encuentra a más de 700 metros de profundidad. Son capturados de forma ilegal para vender las conchas como souvenir. Se piensa que sus poblaciones han caído hasta 80 por ciento, por lo que algunos investigadores sugieren que debería ser considerada una especie en peligro crítico de extinción. Tú puede ayudar. NO compres su concha. Puedes conocer más sobre el Nautilus en el episodio "El Último Paraíso" de Por el Planeta en www.nmas.com.mx VIDEO: N+ #nautilus #mundomarino #fósil
