Page 1Deep in the ocean glides a strange, round shell. Inside lives a curious creature called the chambered nautilus. It has swum this way for millions of years.
Page 2Its shell curls into a perfect spiral. Inside, thin walls divide it into small rooms. Each little room is called a chamber.
Page 3The nautilus lives inside just one chamber. It is always the newest and biggest room. The older, empty chambers curl behind it.
