Ecological Information

Although mythological, the habits of the tree octopus are not completely unknown. Their diet probably is more carnivorous than herbivorous, as they are reported to have been observed consuming small amphibians such as tree frogs and toads, and particularly enjoy eggs and young hatchlings. Because of their highly developed olfactory sense, they unfortunately are attracted to the occasional running shoe which careless athletes in the Northwest tend to dispose of by tossing into the high branches of trees. These running shoes are deadly to the tree octopus as they are indigestible and have resulted in a number of confirmed deaths.
