Give. Give until it hurts. Then give some more. The Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus needs you. Well, actually, all it really needs is a mild climate and access to water, plus a few nice trees of medium fluffiness, but these things don't come cheap anymore, in Vancouver they're actually quite pricey, but really, when all's said and done, would you want to live in a world devoid of tree octopi?
Me, neither.
UPDATE
Both I and the Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus thank you for your continued and unwavering interest in its continued well-being. The comments section of this entry is now closed.

i love them so much i am a great suporter
I also deeply love the tree octopus. It would be tragic shame to think that we could ever loose this creature(especially when we considers all that it does for our environment).
IT IS NOT REAL THERE IS NO TREE OCTOPUS. HOW COULS POSSIBABLY BELIVE THAT THERE WAS!!!
Tom, the shop's called twice now. You need to bring in your irony meter for recalibration.
Is this real? Are you joking? STOP MESSING WITH MY MIND!?!?!
Real as in is it alive is it real? dose it exist if I sirch t6he world will I find it? I live in seattle and I have never herd or seen such athin
It's not a real creature. It is a real website, though.
If the animal is not real than why are you posting it on the web??
It's part of that subset of "humour" known as "parody". It's just meant to be funny.
It's not meant to trick you, or make you feel bad. I'm sorry if it has.
I am writing a 7 page papper on octopi. If it is meant to be humour make it some thing funny. I love humour, but I am pulling my hair out over this report thing.

Humour is very personal; what one person thinks is funny others don't. I think the tree octopus is hysterical.
By the way, have you heard of the sidehill gouger? These are animals with legs on one side that are shorter than the legs on the other side. They have gotten this way through centuries of genetic selection, because they live on steep mountainsides and always walk around them in the same direction while they graze, so the uphill legs have come to be shorter than the downhill legs. There are 2 subspecies; lefthand sidehill gougers always walk in a counterclockwise direction, and righthand gougers always go clockwise. They don't usually breed together, because the results can be pretty awful and can't move about much at all, so predators usually get them quickly. They are very fast runners; but the only way you can catch a gouger is on a flat area, because they can't run on the flats at all.

Ah, to be a pimply-faced teenager again, in spirit, if not in fact!
Don't swear on my blog, Rufus. Your command of invective is at best banal. No vowels for you.

I think that the Tree Octopus is an interesting website!! I also think it's very funny!!!
We really believed in the tree octopus we made sn's about it, told all our teachers, and told our friends. We are emotionally scarred for life. We still our FOTPNWTO, through it all.
And that's the important thing, isn't it? To maintain your ideals, no matter who or what seeks to dump on them.
Gullibility is underrated as a desirable personality trait.
