We consider the system of two coupled one-dimensional parabola maps. It is well known
that the parabola map is the simplest map that can exhibit chaotic dynamics, chaos in this map
appears through an infinite cascade of period-doubling bifurcations. For two coupled parabola
maps we focus on studying attractors of two types: those which resemble the well-known discrete
Lorenz-like attractors and those which are similar to the discrete Shilnikov attractors. We describe
and illustrate the scenarios of occurrence of chaotic attractors of both types.
