The Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus, also known as "//Octopus paxarbolis"// is an endangered species first published on the Web in 1998 by Lyle Zapato. It is supposed to be able to live both on land and in water and is said to live in the Olympic National Forest and nearby rivers, spawning in water where eggs are laid. Its predators are House cats, Bald Eagles and the Sasquatch.
