About the Nautilus
A nautilus is an ocean animal related to the octopus and squid, but it lives inside a beautiful coiled shell. The shell is divided into many chambers, and the animal fills them with gas or water to float higher or sink lower in the sea. Nautiluses have changed very little over millions of years, so they are sometimes called living fossils. Print this for an ocean unit and trace the spiral of the shell inward.
- A nautilus lives in a coiled shell split into many sealed chambers.
- It rises and sinks by adjusting gas and water inside those chambers.
- The nautilus is a relative of the octopus and squid.
