Nautilus On The Go!

A nautilus swims using jet propulsion! it expels water from its mantle cavity through a siphon located near its head, adjusting the direction of the siphon to swim forward, backward or sideways. To control its buoyancy, a nautilus pumps fluids in and out its shell chambers, which are connected by tubes called "siphuncles." check our our animal guide page for more: mbayaq.co/1Ov5Q6V ____ Hey there!
