Ecological Information
Although mythological, the habits of the tree octopus are not completely unknown. Their diet probably is more carnivorous than herbivorous, as they are reported to have been observed consuming small amphibians such as tree frogs and toads, and particularly enjoy eggs and young hatchlings. Because of their highly developed olfactory sense, they unfortunately are attracted to the occasional running shoe which careless athletes in the Northwest tend to dispose of by tossing into the high branches of trees. These running shoes are deadly to the tree octopus as they are indigestible and have resulted in a number of confirmed deaths.
See the website listed below for further information and ways to support this critically endangered though entirely fictitious creature.

There are no monkeys native to the US Pacific Northwest. The tree octopus is said to live exclusively in the forests of western Washington state. The main threat to the tree octopus was from another primate, the Sasquatch, which were said to feed on it. Of course, Sasquatch may not exist, and the tree octopus certainly does not. The Pacific Tree Octopus is a fictional creature created by hoaxsters in 1998 as a parody of ecological websites. Some individuals do still occasionally think the website is a real one.
