The tree octopus can be found in temperate rain forests. It has the largest brain-to-body ratio for any mollusk and it eats insects, birds. Tree octopuses are amphibious. Using two different sources (Wikipedia & snopes.com), I found out that the tree octopus is all but an internet hoax and a legend. The "tree octopus" is an endangered species.

What I have learned about the Internet: The internet is like a whole other universe but really it's all made by us.
What I have leaned about the information on the internet: The internet has a lot of information for us to find out.
