Chambered Nautilus is one of the prehistoric animal, they are consider Cephalopods like octopuses and squids, the species has about 90 tentacles. 
Peter Ward and Gregory Barord did a project in American Samoa with a collaborative effort from NOAA and the Department of Marine and Wildlife Resources.  They drop a camera attached to traps with chicken as baits and they found 4 nautilus in total for their scientific purposes. Peter and assisting scientists weigh, measure the length, the width and got an x ray photo of each nautilus that they found half a mile off the Tafuna International Airport.
