The Paper Nautilus, An Octopus in Disguise
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 вер 2023
- The Paper Nautilus also known as Argonaut Argo is a truly mysterious creature. Looking like something prehistoric you would think it has existed for 100s of millions of years through the fossil record. But the first occurence of these creatures was in fact only 15 million years ago....compared to nearly 500 million years ago for other nautilus species!
Thanks to the amazing female scientist Jeanne Villepreux-Power in the 1830s we are now able to understand the amazing origin of these shells....which aren't even shells! (spoiler alert....they are egg casings).

I'm 60 and I just learned something new! Keep them coming dear. I'll keep watching.
I Really did enjoy this video - Entertaining and Educational all at the same time - thank you
Another great video, so interesting, and you present the information so well that it keeps the viewer’s attention all the time. Muy bien Emma, I loved it!
04:43 - A little like the Amazon women on 'Futurama' - "YOU GIVE ME SNOO SNOO!!!" (Males... Nervously 'Gulp!') 😉🤣🤣🤣 😎🇬🇧
Crazy that they have survived mass extinction(s) - Nice when they show up in Ocean Discovery missions💯SO ALIEN🥰
Great info on the paper one🤓
I did not know that one🤷🏼♂️
For the first time on UA-cam I didn't want a video to end and was surprised when you did. The knowledge you shared along with the visuals was refreshing and answered a lot of questions. Like any good educator your presentation stirs a desire to learn more on the subject. This often leads to falling down the rabbit hole and finding other things to explore. This sometimes leads to missed meals and not realizing it.
As we would say in the US Navy, Bravo Zulu! Keep doing what your doing. I found you while exploring rabbit holes 😁👍
Fascinating!
We live on the South African South-East Coast (Jeffreys Bay) where one can find these creatures, and sometimes pick up their “shells”.
5:58 it looks like a group of flying snails ! Surprisingly cute
Thanks, I enjoyed the jokes, plus I really enjoyed the footage of the live paper nautilus swimming.
Found your video looking for info on nautiluses and wasn’t disappointed 😂
Argo Really fascinating thank you for bringing this....
Thanks...a couple found one on a beach at night. Their discovery was published in our local paper...hence I found your site to find out more.
That's so cool! Thank you for sharing 😊 glad I could help! 🐚
Wow! Never knew of this animal's existence.
I love your videos and I look forward to watching each one. I hope you can, at least occasionally, keep posting while pursuing your doctorate.
Wow I learned so much in the video! Loved the graphics. 😊
I find your explanation just fascinating 😅
Super comme toujours bravo emma 😊😊😊
Fun video! I’ve always found paper nautiluses interesting creatures since I first learned about them
Had never before seen your channel but after just learning that there was such a thing called a paper nautilus i searched it up on here and there you were. Thank you kind lady
Today i learned something new, Ira a beautiful thing. And very, very cool
Just found one of these on the east coast of New Zealand. Great video to find out what they actually are, thanks!
So many fascinating creatures in the ocean 🌊 that we all know so little about. Thanks for enlightening us 😃👍!
That was fascinating!
Excellent video, these truly are fascinating cephalopods! It's a bit of a case of convergent evolution though, not exactly the same.
"This long arm serves a purpose" I instantly knew that the next few sentences after that one would be unpleasant! haha
Amazing creatures with the most beautiful non shell shell in the sea.
Thanks for the educating video 👍👍👍
I'm glad this popped up in my goggle news
I have one of those models there great. Great video 😊
Can we just talk about the beautiful Nautilus under the globe for a second.. :D
Beau Travail comme d'habitude🔬🍀💪🎬Alex France Picardie🍻🙏🌌
so like why would a male run away as fast as he can if he's done for?
Would you rather be eaten alive, or die peacefully 😉 (and they don't die instantly, they just can't regrow their reproductive appendage meaning they can only fertilise one set of eggs etc)
Because she's a crazy . If your tinder date ripped off your, um, arm while... wouldn't you want to get as far away as possible even though you're bleeding out?
@@EmGems well I'm a human. If I were an octopus, maybe I would prefer to be eaten after snu snu if that meant higher survival rate of my offspring. Which is a common thing in octopuses btw
@@browniekingjohn oh my me you are one of culture… xD #Futurama
So why did a niche for a calcite shelled pelagic octopus only emerge in the last 15 million years or so? Why not earlier?
Had they not noticed all the ammonites and nautiloids going around with crash helmets on?
"Thats a huge b" lmfao...
Many thanks for sharing that with us. It's incredible to think that these creatures have adapted to be able to make their own shell. Out of curiosity, does the female die before the eggs hatch? And how many eggs are these shells able to hold?
Great video, Emma!
I have some questions concerning fossil prep; may I contact you about this?
Thank you - yes of course, my email is emgemssyt@gmail.com
their sexual dimorphism reminds me of this scene in Ponyo where Fujimoto is tiny and Ponyo's mom is a giant haha
Anyway, I just discovered this animal in my zoology class and I love it so I had to look it up, thank you for the video!
Wifey coming along again with the interesting video.
5:12 I don't think the arms amputacion is so he can escape seeing as they die after mating after anyways lol. Honestly it seems kinda wastfull, you think they would evolve some type of male cannibalism like some animals like spiders, she could really use the energy for the eggs.
Funny how I came for one thing and stayed for another 😅
✨
Am I understanding this correctly, that there is no relationship between a nautilus and an ammonite? I thought they would have come from a common species that evolved into the two over time.
Between the Paper Nautilus and an ammonite there is no relationship, but there is a relationship between the Chambered Nautilus and Ammonite, mainly due to the chambered shells that they both have - hope that makes sense (the paper Nautilus has a very confusing name considering they aren't closely related to the more commonly known Chambered 'Nautilus')
Thanks Em, your explanation makes it clear. @@EmGems
Sounds like "death by snu snu". 😅😝
i love you
Can the female live outside the shell? And without it?
Yes technically she can, as she is not dependant on the shell. However, they have done some studies where they placed a female paper nautilus inside a cage which she could have escaped from if she left her shell/egg sack behind....and they found that not once did the female abandon her shell.
I learn stuff 🤪🤣
sexual dimorphism isn't so strange in humans
hang around your local chip shop, kebab van or macdonalds to see what I mean LOL
I thought of the Futurama meme.
@@TheRICKY85 you mean "shut up and take my money" ?
or zoidberg ?
@@kwanchan6745 neither, "death by snu snu".
