Nautilus 3D Model

3D Model of a Nautilus The commonly used term 'nautilus' usually refers to any of the surviving members of Nautilidae, and more specifically to the Nautilus pompilius species. Nautilus have been observed to spend days in deeper areas around coral reefs, to avoid predation from turtles and carnivorous fish, and ascend to shallow areas of the reef during nights. Here, they engage in scavenging activity, seeking out animal remains, and the moults of crustaceans. Nautilus species usually travel, and feed alone. Nautilus return to deeper areas following daybreak, and also lay eggs in these locations, which take approximately one year to hatch.
