The Nautilus (Parrotsnail) is not extinct. The nautilus is a freshwater snail belonging to a subfamily of the Ampullariidae family. It is distributed in Southeast Asia, including Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, and Indonesia.

However, it is important to note that some nautilus species may be threatened or affected by human activities. Factors such as overfishing, damage to the aquatic environment and illegal trade may have a negative impact on their survival. Therefore, some nautilus populations may be declining but not extinct.

The implementation of protection and conservation measures is important to maintain the nautilus's ecosystem and population. Ensuring the long-term survival of nautiluses requires sustainable fishing and conservation measures, as well as increased environmental efforts to protect their habitat and important freshwater ecosystems. In addition, related research and monitoring efforts are also critical to ensuring the survival of the nautilus.
