Brown paper nautilus, Argonauta hians, (2 cm) surfing on a jellyfish , Balayan Bay, Luzon, the Philippines

Surfing is common strategy out in the open ocean, and the brown paper nautilus is a surfing specialist that hitches a ride on everything from swimming jellyfish to drifting plastic waste. There is a large size difference between the sexes: the female grows up to 12 times longer and 600 times heavier than the male. The small male only mates once, whereas the female can have offspring many times during her life.
