  1. genus nautilus

    The genus nautilus refers to a group of marine creatures, often called nautilus or chambered nautiluses, that have spiral, coiled shells with a series of air-filled inner chambers. These animals belong to the family Nautilidae and are cephalopods - a type of marine mollusk which also includes creatures like squid, octopus and cuttlefish. The most famous species in this genus is the Pearly Nautilus, but several other species are also recognized. Despite their shell-like appearance, nautiluses are not related to snails. They are known for their unique behaviors and physiology, including their ability to adjust buoyancy by adjusting the gas content in their shells' chambers.
