Rare photo of the elusive tree octopus
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 amphibious, spending only their early life and the period of their mating season in their ancestral aquatic environment. Because of the moistness of the rainforests and specialized skin adaptations, they are able to keep from becoming desiccated for prolonged periods of time, but given the chance they would prefer resting in pooled water. -

wikipedia says the Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus was an internet hoax created in 1998 by Lyle Zapato; able to live both on land and in water, and was said to live in the Olympic National Forest and nearby rivers, spawning in water where eggs are laid. Its major predator was said to be the Sasquatch.... i don't know though; it's wikipedia

When teaching students to evaluate websites, do you use a technique or a tool? In my instructional technology program, we create this for students to evaluate sites - http://arcmit01.uncw.edu/jonesi/Projects%20for%20Portfolio/MIT%20512%20-%20Web%20Site%20Evaluation%20Tools/Evaluation%20Forms%20Final/Evaluation%20Form%20Revision%203/StudentForm.html
take a peek and use / modify as you like... I was sort of thinking of hiring a programmer to make it fancy and sleek. You think it's a good idea?
Thanks for sharing,
Newman
