Close-up of the bizarre

The British snail (Nautilus pompilus) is considered by the scientific community as a "living fossil" in nature, as they change very little from their ancestors 400-500 million years ago, known through fossils.

Although called snail, this creature belongs to the class of head-legged animals like squid and octopus.

They are called snails because the shell is like a very large shell, with a diameter of up to 20cm.

Instead of crawling slowly on the seabed like the main snail species, his snail dancing skillfully in the sea by sucking and spraying water according to the jet mechanism, like ink and octopus.

They can also move under the seabed with their flexible tentacles.

The main food of the snail is the crustaceans such as shrimp and crab.

One interesting thing about the British snail: their name - Nautilus - is the name of Jules Verne's famous fiction novel Twenty Thousand Seabed.

In Vietnam, this creature is recorded in Khanh Hoa and Ba Ria - Vung Tau waters.

Due to being exploited to make fine art items, the number of snails is increasing.
