Nautilus - 500 Million Years Under the Sea Narrated by David Attenborough
At dusk on a remote Pacific coral reef a strange creature emerges from the depths. It has a beautiful shell, a beak, and a mass of tentacles, covered in suckers, with which it catches its prey. Nautilus, a relative of the octupus and squids, has been called a living fossil. But is it? Now biologists have new and fascinating information about this animal. Filmed and directed by PAUL ATKINS and MICHAEL DEGRUY BBCtv presentation by RICHARD BROCK BBC Bristol
