This was extremely interesting. I never really considered nautiluses, but now I'm very curious...and irritated their population is dwindling... And I can't believe I used to enjoy eating octopuses—they are magnificent creatures that should be appreciated far more.

So true. When I lived in Japan I also ate octopuses and squid or cuttlefish; I just didn't know any better. I was curious whether the nautilus also would make friends with humans, like the octopuses, but I couldn't find anything about it. They're very shy and solitary.
