The Whip-tailed Tree Octopus is the largest species of tree octopus indigenes to Snake Island. This specimen is 49 inch adult female. Tree octopus is an extremely rare terrestrial octopus with modified gills (similar to the lungfish and frog) and thick dry skin for terrestrial life at wetland and rainforest. Unlike the common eight-legged sea dwelling octopus, all the Tree Octopus has ten legs (just like the common squid and cuttlefish).

It's a hoax...

It's about as real as Stengun's 93R story. ;)

Totally bogus. No question. The one in the still photo has 9 legs.
