What is the significance of the E/V Nautilus capturing its first footage of live nautiluses?

The Exploration Vessel Nautilus captured its first-ever footage of four nautiluses during a dive in Palau's German Channel. This footage is significant because the nautilus is rarely photographed or filmed, representing a rare glimpse into the elusive animal's behavior in its natural habitat. The discovery occurred during the ROV Hercules' final dive of 2024, at a depth of approximately 1200 feet.
