Chambered Nautilus (Ancient Squid)

[kotu1978]

make more videos like this one i guess. ive been badly affected by readin g these COmnenTS. i feel ugly inside. girls like my face. but im nowq

[jidewoaini]

oh pls that is Amonites

[Younrubby]

@jidewoaini

Ammonites are extinct. Like millions of years ago.

[kotu1978]

@Younrubby i have pet ammonites (well i have 1) and a pet nautilus (meaning 3) but scientists would destroy our lives, becos um. oh well. more dna research! dont come my house.

[ChupiTheTerrible]

@kotu1978 Ah... No, you don't. Ammonites have been extinct for a loooooong time. You might have an Omanyte, maybe. On your GameBoy. And the rest of your post is just nonsensical gibberish, what the hell are you even trying to say?

[stefire319]

@kotu1978 Ammonites are extinct! Get your facts right before you post.

[PlutonicFrog]

@kotu1978 Bad Joke.

[kotu1978]

@Younrubby in science nothing exists. fictional vague statement. IN TANK, ... just then!

[extasisNOW]

Este animal me encanta desde que era niño

[ptitjonh]

ugly animal but interresting

[kotu1978]

not as ugly as someone would BE if theyre skin and muscle was removed from the fron of theirhead! but more saddening. um. if it was u. i would be sad. should hope i watch the video again

[kotu1978]

@kotu1978 sorry I MISTYPED i meant to say all animals are beautiful . unless um

[kotu1978]

Respond to this video... nautilus are beautiful. this guy couldnt win a nautilus in a love thing vs a dead centipede with cancer in its eyes so it was blind, and that had aids. LOVE IS IN THE AIR!

[SnoozersDog]

1st off what do they eat 2nd how do they eat, 3rd can you keep one as a pet? :3

[Younrubby]

@SnoozersDog

They eat most fish that live in Coral Reefs, and chicken (don't ask me why). They eath with their mouth that's under their tentacles. You can keep one as a pet, but they'll take a lot of time.

[akapupi1]

does any one know how big this animals can get?....

[AnubisEye009]

its the flood

[EatYeFigs]

These are my favorite animals right here. Their shell and body structure so aesthetically appealing to me as an artist.

[rubiscool1]

they look very strange...it's like a shrim but bigger...is that the ancestor of the shrim?

[Bill2bearockstar]

@rubiscool1 its a cousin of the squid

(spuids lost their shells, but nautilusses never did and they all are relatives of snails wich are mollusks wether as shrimp are athropods)

[rubiscool1]

@Bill2bearockstar yeah the squids lost their shells, but nautilusses, did not , of course . And they look like a shrimp lol : ) . this mollusk is very interresting but strange . How big is it ? I heard that they can get 5 m . But they're not . We can to take them with hands .

[Bill2bearockstar]

@rubiscool1 5m?? WTF NO, not by far :S typ in google : chambered nautilus and go to the wikipedia site, scroll down and you'll see a table ornament made out of a nautilus, that's their normal size :)

[gladheateher4now]

They out lived the dinosaurs and all 5 mass extinctions. They have scientists putting head cams on them NOW to find there secrets. You thought YOU were old? think again !!!

[PrincessResimaus]

i love them soooo much !! this are really my favourite animals.. after axolotls :)

[lipphillypicklepoo]

That thing is sick. I want it. Can you buy them?

[Zman579]

I wouldn't recommend it. If you rush into buying it, you may find you can't keep it and whatever you choose to do with it will probably have bad consequences. If you release it you are introducing an alien species into a new ecosystem and I'm sure you know of the many problems we are having with those. If you kill it, that would be wrong and unfair to the nautilus. So it would be best not to buy one.

[mydogdaisy1212]

The nautilus was one of the first animals to evolve, and we all evolved from the same place, therefore if it is an alien then we are aliens and dogs are aliens and cats are aliens and frogs and alligators and even bugs and fish are all aliens. If this is true then saying this one creature is an alien is like seeing a bear and saying "OMG its an animal". Also, there was not life when the earth was forming, life first came in the eoarchean era( about 700 million years after the earth was made)

[kopaoka1000000]

i think ive seen that thing in pokemon???

[FireHawk459z]

@kopaoka1000000 Omanyte and Omastar are based off of Nautilis. That's also why they're fossil Pokemon ^_^

[1forestcat]

we should petition e-bay that they not allow people to sell nautilus shells on their website!!!

[7070timo]

creepy

[LionHeart9619]

the nautilus are the only species left of the nautiloid subclass, an ancient group stretching back 550 million years ago! they better not go extinct, they lived 1/9th of Earth's entire history. Back 550 million years ago they were the top predators in the world, capable of eating a sea scorpion. Now they're only 2 species left in the world

[bassmajor]

i really like them and i hope that they wont become extinct

[polishdread]

they look delicious. do you think they would taste better with melted butter or cocktail sauce?

[11codeX11]

@bassmajor One day, they will all die out because of us humans.

[telemetry9]

The nautilus evolved from giant amoebas. Their shell was a gift of protection from Shanira (lesser known yellow lycra power ranger). They patrol the ocean in packs and sing to whales for their regurgitated pulp meals. They are genetically programmed to detect the presence of moby in the ocean and on that day they will drag him to poseidon for crimes against musicology.

[hepnerlynn]

centuries??? try more like millions of years!!!

[Cance251]

@hepnerlynn The Cambrian Period. about 60 million years ago.

[rafiskywalker]

ancient is right...It's one of the first squids in history and has survived for centuries

[Dolpsgrenadier]

armored squid

[madbluejay1026]

Your the alien, haha, cephalopods... plenty of information about them, how they came about, from what as well... take a simple biology course... and you'll understand enough to not call them aliens, alien.

[aezal7]

they arent aliens, stop being stupid

[mrjustin5]

What if live did not start on earth? What if life began off on another world? Such as if earth while it was still forming, was hit with comets made of frozen ice, other bacterium, eggs, larve, DNA material, all smashed into earth from outside the solar system?

That is one theory how life started - and I believe it. Look at this ALIEN creature that humans call a "Chambered Nautilus" - Look at that things EYES! Look at how it moves. Now if there is still Aliens on planet earth, that is one.

[masterofhobbiton]

If the nautilus is an alien, why does it have features in common with other cephalopods? The tentacles, eyes, and shell are all featured in other related Earth animals. Are you suggesting that all of them are also alien?

[mrjustin5]

masterofhobbiton - You know, I really hate stupid questions from my comments like this on youtube.

There was LIFE on earth while the planet is still forming... go grab a science book and read for yourself.

So I MIGHT be suggesting that they are also alien. Perhaps they had a common ancestor, hmm???? Dont reply and dont ask any more stupid questions.

[masterofhobbiton]

Heheh, sorry, I can't help replying, and I doubt you'll be able to either.

It just seemed odd to me that first you suggested that ALL life on Earth was alien, having been introduced at a very early stage. Then you suggested that the nautilus is alien based on its features. You can stick with the first one if you like, the common ancestor theory, but either everything is alien or nothing is, because I believe that there is a chain of transitional forms between the first bacteria and the nautilus.

[nowayride]

The nautilus has a much simpler eye than us humans have. That is why it seems so alien to you, because it is in a way, primitive organic technology. You should really do some research before you start hammering off theories on biological origins. Everything about the nautilus can be found on Wikipedia, as well as explanations of its functions.

The nautilus is a living fossil, meaning it is a great snapshot of the Paleozoic period of history.

[mrjustin5]

nowayride - I know all of this. Must you guys hammer on me for having a different view which just happens to conflict some of the things YOU believe!

Thats whats so amazing is diversity. My opinions, yours as well, along with different organisms on planet earth.

Science is not always accurate or flawless. Scientists believe Dolphins are NOT self-aware because they wont scrape a colored sticker dot off their body when they see it in a mirror. That doesnt prove anything either way. Bogus science

[nowayride]

You believe the nautilus is extraterrestrial because it looks like something out of an alien movie.

What you seem to not realize is, we aren't hammering you for having views conflicting with ours. You have views conflicting with a subject that has been thoroughly explained.

It's unfounded theories like yours that end up with the 'elephant on the moon' facts.

[mrjustin5]

And if you dont believe that study on Dolphins actually exists... why dont you google it? Wikipedia is not accurate. Its not a science book. Anyone can go in and change it and link to thinks, and sometimes even the sources they link to are inaccurate.

Wikipedia is "consensus" reality. Majority rules. So say if 51% of people believe elephants live on the moon - it becomes "fact" on wikipedia, even though its obviously wrong.

Google "Wikiality Stephen Colbert" and watch the video on The Word.

[nortalus]

Would be cool to have one in a Marine aquarium.

But then I have never seen them for sale even in good marine stockists /=

Something tells me there not imported.

[icemangus]

i saw a few for sale in montreal city

[BelytaRuiva]

Amazing! Thanks...

[TentacleSex]

xfd at :47 it bumps into that other nautilus haha

oh why are they so funny and cute

[rawwleklueze8]

looks like a underwater snail but its a lil bit bigger

[orgixvi3]

Interesting, I've never seen a Nautilus before.

[ryanandbranslurppiss]

it looks so useless

[garaa111111111111111]

omg i love the nautilus its so cool

[TheMoronicGenius]

omg this thing is cool but at the same time creepy cause of its eye. and omanyte? really?? XD

[monocabelludo]

it soo cut

[ninveth]

...I thought these kinds of octopus thingies were extinct 8O But then again these just resemble ammonites. (Not omanytes XD....) Ok I'm not an expert at all but this is so fascinating.

And wow that about their eyes is quite cool.

[victorcute101]

if i could turn into any animal i will turn to this one and a lungfish :))

[callerofmusic]

lol it looks like the flood

[misticomisterioso]

I love this animal. It is so wonderfull, if i were an animal i would be this one...

[locaclc]

call master chief its the flood! lmao

[pinkoc30]

its sooooooo cute!

[SuperShadic628]

did a kid just say omynite? XD ITS A POKEMON!!!

[ForeignerD]

Fishy-pus. We dig it.

[TriumVirateABAP]

~WAIT! Did it just blink

0:33

[xV13TxB01x]

no, it's the shadow of the tank.

[Nicdog829]

how the heck do they swim lol

[lite2024]

its eyes are so intriging

[gckbowers411]

0:28 It's swimming forward?!

[Cnidarious]

Actually its swimming backwards.

[costellog83]

that depends.. it actually swims backwards.. although the 2nd one shown is actually swimming forward!

[valonsasukegirl101]

looks like a gay pokemon wait all pokemon are GAY!!~!

[hitterbrehm]

oh wow

[CrapolaLipGuy]

you're mom.

[teddy405139]

It's called a Nautilus. You can call the species "ancient". Basically, it's a simple oceanic cephalopod that uses not sight, but smell to detect food. they're interesting in my opinion. They move by sucking in and shooting out water from a siphon. just like squid and octopus, they have tentacles, but no suckers. So they are basically slow, basic, primitive, but very ancient and interesting.

[WildStyleKid516]

this depresses me for some reason. poor little nautilus haha.

[HerrvonWolf]

omg a jew

[2weasle2]

they're funny :L

[siefah]

these guys are funny. since their eyes are in the back they cant see where they are going and always run into stuff

[Skidddmark]

Isn't it called a nautilus?

[oreoXinsanity]

whatv a freak

[ThrillaDaMcColdKilla]

have anybody squeezed one before?? is it hard or soft???????

[mikkydayo]

its hard as fuck!

[HeliFreak42]

Animals that are constantly running into things because they are forced to swim backwards are absolutely hilarious

[incram545]

that is not a sqiud man r u crazy or what??

[cholapat]

Oh... i thought i put all the information on the right and you can read more about it.

It is not a squid for sure but i refer to a squid so that we can easily imagine their specie (Cephalopod).

[AsianCaucasianAsian]

It is in the same class of the squid and a lot older than the squid. It is part of the Class Cephalopoda which is the same class as octopuses and squids.

[LuvZaku1753]

@incram545 its the descendent of the squid that is the cephalopods... it is the only species that retains an external shell.. the nautilus is from the cenozoic era on the tertiary period at the stage of oligocene in about 65million years ago... the nautilus also similar to the ammonite on the jurassic period approximate 200million years ago

[funktapus]

It sounds like you guys are in the mos eisley cantina

[ErgotoxinCZ]

indeed lol but it sounds fitty

[joealtair3000]

omg its a flood

[Tilferious]

i like how they lazily bob around in the water lol. i want one

[ag00dp3rs0n]

flood omg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gearsofxbox]

what do u mean by flood?

[ktmo123]

lol from halo

[Mariodude96]

yummy

[zezi332]

LOL ONCE AGIN THE FLOOD!!

[Boodhunnilesh]

Ressemble to the flood in HALO!!!

[rockordieKOTA]

the flood!!!

[JoGaBonito1908]

i love this animal

[MuGeNTOM]

omg I just learned that they're still existing!! I thought they were extinct!!! WOW thats AMAZING. I've always wanted to know what they were like in real life. They seem pretty calm in the water.

[animekid360x]

ammonites are extinct

[Christaddict777]

Iak

[Christaddict777]

Iak

[pktheunbearable]

There is a short clip about the nautilus with commentary by David Attenborough, quite new; you might like to see it. watch?v=QMFqV4SJLWg

[CuteNautilus]

Thanks for the link to the great nautilus vid. Loved it. =]

[nic1115]

It is so cute!!!!

[brent0007]

can u get these as pets they are so awesome

[colossalcalamari]

i'd like to know that myself

[BrutusOctopus]

You can, but only for advance aquarists. Generally you can only get ahold of 'em for scientific research.

[quadsarced]

yes you can at some stores(i went one today that was for sale)

but they say its very hard to take care of, and you need a chiller and no other sea creatures in the tanks etc.

[73337]

these guys are funny. since their eyes are in the back they cant see where they are going and always run into stuff

[wolfgirlcristeen]

Wow thats a squid o.o Sure is nasty looking XD

[genil061206]

behold, the NAUTILUS!

[cubby1812]

wow i didnt think u can keep those captive cause they live under thousands of pressure in the deep.

[oinkmastrQ]

Not true, if they went that deep they'd implode... and they do

look it up

[beermandan420]

we have the shells to these where i work, by the thousands...

[ktcat1]

Great video. Thanks for sharing it with us.

[lostballNtallweeds]

i could'v sworn ppl mention these things were extinct until some1 found them again, i dont no some1 give me insight...

[CuteNautilus]

As far as I know they have never been extinct but they evolved from the now extinct ammonites. They are not seen that often because they live in deep waters in the day and rise up into the shallows at night to feed. They quickly decreasing in numbers as their shells are very popular with tourists all over the world.

[Beach20Bum]

Maybe I'm wrong - but i thought "squids" didnt have shells - that thing is more like a snail than a squid

[Tutankhaten]

Just as the title says, they are "ancient squids". A more primitive version of what most would recognize. Also, snails crawl over surfaces as they can't swim.

[Beach20Bum]

Ah I see how I was incorrect... but I did look it up - and these particular animals are not ancient squids - take a look

The chambered nautilus:

a cephalopod, is a relative of the ancient ammonoids and a modern relative of squid, octopus, and cuttlefish. Unlike its relatives, the nautilus has an external shell. It inhabits ocean waters close to the sea floor during the day, migrating to shallower water at night in search of prey.

[Deadmonkeybrain]

taste good?

[calvin546]

i saw some of those at ocean park

[kamkoolot]

thanks for the video. it's really cool!

[eligarf]

that is really trippy! thanks for the great viDescription!

[madcows10]

It looks like a tit...with eyeballs.

[halowut3]

lol

[japanrules10]

cross between squid and shrimp! mmmm

[FltLtRocks]

While a squid IS a type of cephalopod, a shrimp is an arthropod. The nautilus was never thought to be extinct either..... Nautiloids have existed since the early Palaeozoic (about 500 million years ago - 500My). The modern genus "Nautilus" dates back about 400My I think, and is the sole living member of this once diverse group of animals.

[chickylittle]

wow very alien-like

[windshield48]

They can navigate up and down. In the Deep Ocean there

is less light and a higher pressure.

[shiningfork]

n th werd primmitiv is also dum cos al it mens is wer liek prim8s rit? wic is liek teh cayvman kommershal were hes offended cos we thik we sooperyer but in reallity if dey had stuk aroun dey wuda thryvd again ..neandertals not teh primmates. teh primmates r fine L2p

[newveteran]

There are alot of these, of course it's real. They just aren't found in your location.

[django1234567]

No they are fake, ill admit it...i was filming this at my house

[ErgotoxinCZ]

lmfao

[christianflores2007]

oh so thats whats its called...my uncle got somethin from the mail in the box was this weird but cool lookin fish.He sent it to me and i was like uhmm...is this dead cuz it wasnt moving lol xD how big do these ancient creatures grow to be?

[dufus580]

is a doll or hollogram ddd!

[shiningfork]

o dere qwite commin aktully. dere seffalopodz n dey r soopr smart, stoopid peeple luk fer sily ailyens from lol owter spase wen we hav intellijent lief rit her so wut do we do we cach em in are netz n kil em liek nothin watta joek dats wat we do to ntellijent leif dats how primmitiv we r

[xyrophiliac]

are you retarded?

[xyrophiliac]

are you retarded?

[A7XStan]

wow..strange looking squid..

[dufus580]

is doll or hollogram

[Zeno22]

Those came from the beginning of time thought to be dead for millions of years how could you get one?!

[dufus580]

there so fake

[Zombiestripper333]

uh? no

[windshield48]

I think they live in the Deep Ocean.They have special abilities to live there. I believe that the creator of the world gave them their abilities. Especially for the place where they live. The human beings only

found them very late.

[windshield48]

That`s the question...

[windshield48]

...if people thought they were dead for millions

of years how could you get one?

[DarkAegypticus]

These are Nautilus. There were several species, including the more well known Ammonites which are now extinct. You'll only find surviving Nautilis in places like Palau.

[dahgrow]

those are cool creatures.

[dufus580]

fake yeah

[saintdracula]

I thought they were dead! Never seen one alive before.

You made my day.
