Depicted Animal

Nautilus pompilius  LINNAEUS, 1758
0.25 M    

Common names: (English • Deutsch • Français • Español) - Chambered nautilus or pearly nautilus • Gemeines Perlboot oder Schiffsboot • Nautilus pompilius • Nautilus pompilius
Systematics: Nautilidae, Nautilida, «Nautiloids» («Palcephalopoda»), Cephalopoda, Mollusca
Habitat: marine, continental slope; demersal, planktonic

Perlboots are found in warm regions of the Pacific and Indian Oceans primarily near reefs where they slowly dive up and down in a day-night rhythm. They are the only cephalopods with an external shell (Ectocochlea) which still exist today. The shell consists of the body chamber for the animal and the phragmocone which is divided into camerae by septa. The camerae are linked by a siphuncle for buoyancy regulation by means of gas exchange.
