Stop learning about cephalopods? Nautilus I have to!

With a perfect snail like shell and most octopus characteristics, this curious creature is considered the lost link between cephalopods (squids, octopus) and the rest of the mollusks. A living fossile which has survived without many changes for hundreds of millions of years.

Nautilus are predators. They dig in sand near coral reefs, looking for shrimps, crabs and small fish to feed. Their tentacles are tiny and without suckers, and they don’t ave good eyes. But in compensation, they have up to 90 tentacles with a powerful grip and a very sharp sense of smell.
