As explained in the video, they are not harmed by getting them to the surface and treated with utmost care. It has been proven in scientific research on the Great Barrier Reef that they can be recatched and have had normal growth and no stress marks between the different catches (which can be seen in the coloured rings on their shell).
GeneralAv 001 ammonites are actually none for appearing in the devonian era, and nautiluses are known for appearing in the cambrian era. Which make nautilus the older one
It was actually hammered into our heads that they were not YET extinct-that ALL of their relatives are though-that they are the very last to still be out there somewhere. So-honor to finally witness!
77% ? are you sure it's not 76%? anyway, dinosaurs as such are not extinct: birds are still around today. And one of their ancestral family treebranches too (crocodilians).
"y'all wanna see me do some spins? I'm really good at it...to the left, to the left... Are you getting this?...all my sides? Greeeat... Oh I'm gonna mix it up now...to the right now y'all"
I don't recall having ever seen such a good, clear image of these amazing creatures! Thank you for sharing. I am glad you also made sure that tempting them from the deep did not harm them as well, eased my mind. :) Thank you for showing such respect for these deep sea wonders even going so far as to escort them to a lower region.
It looks very much like a squid crammed into a tiger-striped cradle. And those eyes... They're not like the eyes of fish and squids. They're... like the missing link!
Digitalisman Digitalisman Unoriginal, trite e-sports nerd bullshit, chinese owned, MOBAs are boring and for children, it fucking sucks and I have zero respect for anyone who currently plays it. now it’s your turn to tell me why dog shit stinks.
Bucket list stuff. I've been facinated with nautiluses ever since I was a kid. On my local beach we used to find lots of ammonite fossils, and to see something so similar still alive today is heartening. I'd love to dive with them one day. The closest I've had so far is the mighty fine cuttlefish we often get to see (and sometimes interact with, they're quite confident!) here :)
The chicken scared me 😂 But great video, I'm fascinated by these things. I learned about nautiluses since I'm taking marine science and they're pretty cool
Thank you for taking care with them and for taking the time to observe them come up from the depths to mate and to feed and to check things out because they are curious, private, and prefer to interact with those who share similar behaviors.
Very pretty. Thank you for this high quality footage. How intelligent are these animals... I know their evolved relatives (octopuses, squid and cuttlefish) are all highly intelligent... they strike me as rather... slow... in that regard ^_^
Jelly Squiddles they aren't as intelligent as squid octopus or cuddles but their olfactory bulb is much much larger so they can track based on smell better than their relatives.
Nautiluses aren’t completely stupid, but they’re not nearly as intelligent as squid and octopuses. They rely on drifting around until they eventually find food, whereas squid and octopuses are much more active predators which developed complex brains to help them strategize and hunt more efficiently. Plus, squid and octopuses don’t have protective external shells, so they also have to be smart enough to evade other predators. Nautiluses by comparison are pretty dang chill, scooting around in groups and eating whatever they find floating in the ocean. They’re not built for speed or power, they’re just passing through lookin’ for some dead stuff to chow down on.
i never knew that a creature called the nautilus existed! I thought it was captain Nemo's submarine. Thanks for posting such an amazing video. It looks rare and unreal!
they are living fossils older then horseshoe crabs. they were around before the dinosaurs are born! they haven't changed a bit and they are 500Million years old!
They are a very ancient creature. Fossils of them have been found dating back many hundreds of millions of years. Amazing that they have survived practically unchanged for so long.
Great video! So nice to see people who respect nature and their habitat. Great way to satisfy ones need to see something that is majestic and interesting at the same time.
@@pandafat4043 They have been around largely unchanged for hundreds of millions of years. Some other species have as well; namely crocodilians, sharks, jellyfish (longest existings species still living), miscealleneous arthropods like crabs. Mainly sea or water dwelling oviparous animal species
I thought this footage was so beautifully stunning I actually learned something new. The nautilus I’ve seen there empty shells but never actually thought of what type of creature lives inside, your video was so inspiring & beautifully shot, well done guys. Thankyou xx 😘
Marcos Or Why. Simple fact of life. Get over it. Nature is not fair. Nature does not care if you can't survive. Either you adapt or you die. Nature is not the butterflies and rainbows and peace and love people think it is. Any outdoorsman knowns that nature is a fickle bitch that takes as much as she gives.
They aren’t active predators like other cephalopods. They are most scavengers and take the chance if something comes close to them. Keeping this in mind they evolved to have very short appendages. They are not useless, they are oerfect for how the nautilus lives,
wont lie, if i was scuba diving or swimming in the ocean or something and saw one of these little dudes coming towards me, id probably freak the fuck out.
