    While the Nautilus isn’t nearly as famous as the octopus and squid, it is just as remarkable. This species boasts a beak, eyes, and up to 90 tentacles that protrude from a large, round central shell.
    Some scientists consider them to be “living fossils.” Their lifespan can reach up to 20 years or more..
