The Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus

Pacific Northwest Arboreal Octopus

From Conservapedia

The Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus (Octopus paxarbolis) can be found in the temperate rainforests of the Olympic Peninsula on the west coast of North America. Their habitat lies on the eastern side of the Olympic mountain range, adjacent to Hood Canal. These solitary cephalopods reach an average size (measured from arm-tip to mantle-tip,) of 30-33 cm. Unlike most other cephalopods, tree octopuses are Amphibian, spending only their earliest life stages and mating seasons in their aquatic environment. Because of the moistness of the rainforests and their well designed skin adaptations, they are able to keep from becoming dried out for prolonged periods of time.(Citation Needed)

Where do I go to register for the protest march? Haven't smoked any of that good old NW vegetation since Nixon.
BTW, are they good to lick?

No, thats another endangered species - the Colorado River Cane Toad - and you don't lick it - you milk the sweat glands onto a mirror, dry to powder, then smoke with appropriate glassware - DMT!

I'd like to have a pet tree octopus! zg

They are very reclusive - most people didn't know about them - but you could use a specially designed long-pole snare. zg

Mdlbj, Where have you been? We've been licking toads, frogs, salamanders etc. for years now and it hasn't affected our ability to count cards. Zg's powdered version sounds even better. If you want to try some, then meet us at the next Joplin/ Hendrix concert and Zg will turn you on. After all, this becomes a habit you have to lick!
