Fast Fauna Facts #3 - Winged Argonaut (Argonauta hians)
Family: Argonaut Family (Argonautidae)
IUCN Conservation Status: Least Concern
Like the other small octopuses in the argonaut family many Winged Argonauts appear to have spiral-shaped external shells similar to those of nautiluses or ammonites, but this isn't quite the case - what appears to be an argonaut's shell is only seen in adult females, and is actually a thin-walled, calcium-based case secreted from and held by a specialised pair of arms in order to carry fertilized eggs until they hatch. Found in non-polar waters worldwide, Winged Argonauts are found mainly near the surface in the open ocean (in contrast to most octopuses, which are bottom-dwellers,) feeding on small floating invertebrates and often using their suction cups to cling to flotsam or larger animals (sometimes including other argonauts) for protection; when faced with a predator, they may attempt to position the animal they're riding on between them and the perceived threat to act as a meat shield.

Stunning image of an Argonaut! This creature, also known as a paper nautilus, is actually a rare type of octopus! Found drifting in warm seas, female argonauts create delicate, translucent shells to protect their eggs, like nature��s own art piece. They use air bubbles to float and steer through the water.
Fun Fact: These octopus geniuses have been known to hitch rides on jellyfish for free ocean travel!

For #CephalopodWeek, seen today at Brooklyn Museum:


Object from Crete - Minoan Decorated Jug Late Minoan IB Period, c. 1575-1500 BCE From Lower Egypt; presumably found in Egypt but made on Crete Pottery, painted
“This vessel, one of the world's most famous works of Minoan pottery, shows five mollusks called nautili [argonauts] floating above the sea floor. The sinuous, undulating lines of the water plants and nautili tentacles clearly demonstrate the Minoans' love of bold, sweeping designs. For the Egyptians, Minoan painting must have provided an exotic contrast to their own balanced, ordered designs.”
