They can be put in a shoe box - with a bit of moist branch to make them feel comfortable and some tinsel to keep them distracted - and taken to your nearest chapter of the Friends of the Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus for reintroduction into the wild. But for us more enlightened cephalopodophiles, we can consider it a sign of good luck that the species hasn't yet gone extinct.Īnd to keep it that way, please remember to remove any octopuses you find before disposing of your Christmas tree. Granted, that's because they like to eat them.
Scandinavian immigrants considered it good luck to find a tree octopus in their Christmas tree. When it finally comes out of hiding and explores its tree, finding it covered in shiny ornaments and sparkly lights, it will become so mesmerized by the baublely abundance that it'll hardly notice that its tree is sitting in some human's living room. Many octopuses have a natural instinct to decorate their lairs with attractive baubles, and O. They may stay hidden like this for days after a particularly violent shaking, such as experienced by Christmas trees when they are chopped down and transported. This is a defensive mechanism to protect it from wind storms and sasquatch trying to shake octopuses to the ground. When its tree is being jostled violently, a tree octopus will hunker down deep inside the branches near the trunk and camouflage itself to look like bark. Sometimes tree octopuses hitch a ride in Christmas trees harvested from farms on the Olympic Peninsula. With love & support to the Pacific Northwest tree octopus I have attached of one of the Octopi for you to use to raise awareness to the continued plight of the species. Tearfully, we collected several of the dehydrated animals and tried to nurture them back to health, but to no avail. The poor creatures had obviously been driven from the moisture of their forest homes and were desperately migrating toward the safety of the nearby Hood Canal. It wasn't long before I noticed something strange at my feet, an entire pod of 30 to 40 Pacific Northwest tree octopi were littering his lawn. The air was tinged with smoke from the nearby Constantine fire, which was happening at the time. His home is set adjacent to the beautifully scenic Olympic National Park. Inbetween our extensive debates on international politics and the environment, we happen to stroll the grounds of his estate.
While enjoying a break from shooting one of my films, I was vacationing on the west coast, visiting a friend.
