First nautiloids spotted from E/V Nautilus on last dive of season! | Nautilus Live

[@cassianocauepossasporto9373]

"The nautilus population in Palau is stable, and the animals are doing well" - that's pure poetry to me. I love to know it.

[@ohsnapitzambrose]

For real I was so happy hearing that!!

[@Nil-pb7sf]

Surprised it took this long for nautilus to find an actual nautilus lmfao

[@thelittleone1025]

It’s because they are not usually seen at this depth! Normally they hang at depths much deeper. So this is VERY exciting!!

[@charliespinoza1966]

They were always my favorite creature at the MB aquarium when they were there. It was just unreal that you could walk up to a tank and see these cephalopods that have been around, mostly unchanged for hundreds of millions of years. Just gorgeous

[@bemusedbandersnatch2069]

And these are the shelled cephalopods that managed to survive the meteor that took out the dinosaurs. We don't have ammonites anymore but somehow the nautiluses survived.

[@Jukajobs]

@@fynnli6685 That's not true. They share common ancestors, but squid and octopus are in a group called coleoids, while nautiluses (nautili?) are, well, nautiloids. Those two groups split over 400 million years ago.

[@GustafUNL]

@@Jukajobs I wish ammonites were still alive. The Coleoid Nautili. Probably somewhat intelligent, fancy eyed, cool tentacled, and awesome shelled.

[@Jukajobs]

@@GustafUNL Same, but ammonites weren't coleoids either, they were ammonoids, though they were closer to coleoids than nautiloids are. But yeah, I wish I could see them around too, with all their funky shells of all shapes and sizes. It must've been really neat to share the world with them.

[@jvh2092]

What amazing footage, I'm so happy for the team. It warms my heart to hear all the reactions!

[@finch600]

I was absolutely stoked to have been there during that Livestream! Was so good. People kept saying on previous dives how they really wanted to see a nautilus so it was like a slow build up to this moment. Was worried we wasn't going to see one but then this happened. 50/10 was incredible. Still curious about that anchor and cylinders from later in the dive.

[@jemmmmyeah]

I love listening to the pure glee off the scientists. It’s so awesome!

[@evervirescent]

little buddy has no idea how excited everyone is to see them

[@NoahReadsSlowly]

These are so cool. Like timestamps from prehistoric times. And it’s great to hear they are still thriving.

[@MegaRazorback]

The marine biology version of a title drop!

[@doxielain2231]

My family had a shell of one when I was growing up. It was cut in half, exposing their internal chambers. Such a wonderful organism.

[@bemusedbandersnatch2069]

I have a necklace like that that I picked up secondhand. I love that sucker but ever since I found out that nautiluses are endangered because people have overfished them for their pretty shells, I haven't been able to wear it in good conscience. If the population ever rebounds to safe levels I'll wear it again. Although it turns out shelled cephalopods used to be super-duper common millions of years ago, so I've been able to make a pretty easy switch over to fossil jewelry instead.

[@prototropo]

The graceful, lyrical bobbing is the perfect choreography for an unspeakably ancient creature of stylish formal elegance, managing its buoyancy and navigating the vast ocean that birthed its progenitors.
