Living ancient animal! Chambered nautilus (Nautilus pompilius)

Описание: The chambered nautilus (Nautilus pompilius) is part of the nautilus group that is over 500 million years old and they are often referred to as a living fossil! They are related to other cephalopods such as the octopus, and to extinct creatures such as the ammonites. Nautiluses have beautiful shells, and their populations are in decline because they are fished for their shells.
