Last month, archaeologist and artist @ella_beaudoin went viral showing off her hand-stitched blue-ringed octopus! Come learn more about her & see more of her work.
📚 The nautilus can withdraw completely into its shell, closing the opening with a leathery hood formed from two specially folded tentacles.
The shell is coiled, calcareous, mother-of-pearl-lined and pressure resistant being able to dive and withstand pressure 8 football fields deep into the ocean. 🤯
