    Pardon my ignorance, but is the cephalopod in the picture the type commonly called a “paper nautilus”? I’ve always been fascinated just by the name but I’ve never seen a really good picture of one of them. And although this is a beautiful shot it still leaves me wanting more.

    Brought to you by the wonders of evolution for our still enjoyment and amazement! We used to look like that in our early stages, didn’t we?

    No. We never had a bell or a shell, and we had much bigger, heavier scales than the fish in the photo, among other things.

    No, that is one Kind. “So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth”. So there are 5 kinds. Fish, fowl, beasts, creepy things, and men. Yay. We is special. We is our own Kind. ;)
