Meet Max & Mitch!
These brothers often get their tentacles in a tangle!
Max & Mitch are michelinoceras:

We are herbivores from the Triassic period (living in the ocean at that!). My
brother and I live under the sea and love to perform! We never turn
down a chance to show visitors what we can do in the sea!
These two brothers are related to
today's squid and Nautilus. They had many arms or tentacles. Unlike
today's Squid this Triassic creature lived in a straight shell. It
moves around by drawing water into a chamber and out of the chamber with
its funnel shaped body,
this way it uses jet propulsion. It eats fish by catching fish with
its tentacles and devouring it in its jaws. It is capable of diving of
diving at great depth to hunt. Max & Mitch lived from Ordovician
to the Triassic period in oceans.
