Dangerous and Beautiful

The Nautilus shell is divided into about 30 chambers, which can be adjusted to control buoyancy, enabling vertical ascent and descent through the water column during what scientists call diurnal migration. During daytime, when the sun’s light makes it hard to hide in the upper layers of the Ocean, nautilus linger in the depths, migrating toward the surface at night to feed and returning to the dark depths before sunrise.
