moray eels have two sets of jaws. groupers will often hunt with eels, chasing fish into areas they cant reach into and alerting the eel to the spot. some eels can hunt out of water. there's a dam somewhere with specially sized rotating thingies inside that the eels can safely fit through while theyre traveling for sex. electric eels are more closely related to catfish than true eels. most eels have poor eyesight.

The nautilus is the only cephalopod with an external shell. Much like zebras, nautiluses can be individually identified based on their striped shell patterns. Their stripes are fixed, but they stretch out as they grow. In young animals the shells are striped all over.

Since nautiloids are such a diverse group of marine animals, that have been swimming in the world’s oceans for close to 400 million years, they come in all sizes. Some had long shells that could reach a length of up to fifteen feet. Others could be just a few centimeters. Todays chambered nautilus grows to about 8 inches in diameter.

Unlike the present octopi with eight tentacles, the Nautiloids that lived during the Ordovician period had more, maybe hundreds.
