"New species"? Naw. Folks 'round here have known about the tree octopus for a long time. You ain't truly experienced hiking in the Pacific Northwest 'til you've been tapped on the shoulder by a tentacle. :)

With good reason. One o' them eight-armed beasties bit a hole in my Tilley hat. (That's my story, and I'm stickin' with it.)

The Pacific Northwest is also home to the mountain beaver, aka the "boomer". It doesn't boom, it doesn't live in the mountains, and it isn't a beaver.

Tell us something.: "Tell us something" hits me a bit like someone asking me to tell a joke. I can always think of a hundred of them until someone asks me for one. You know how it is. Right now, I can't think of "something" to tell you. But I have to use at least 100 characters to inform you of that.

It's the flying geoducks that really scare me. They land on your head and try to squirt you to death. Or maybe that's just regular ducks ...

A cache of Geoducks can be very intimidating, especially if they are of the lamprey/geoduck hybrid. Here is a poor hapless fellow being sucked down by one of these creatures

First I had to worry about attack squirrels, now this.

The Pacific Northwest tree octopus is real and not a hoax like Belgium, right?
