I think it would scare anybody . . . . . . except Otis!

Nope - it's a model of some prehistoric creature. I think the scientific name is: uglysuckeropod.

As I mentioned above, this is a model of a prehistoric sea creature - I think a distant ancestor of the nautilus (?). This thing is on display at the Sugar Land annex of the Houston Museum of Natural Science.
This one won't eat you (clearly I returned from my encounter with the thing limbs intact), but the original might have.
