Mock Live News Report For Tree Octopus

Late breaking news, here in Scarsdale we're looking at a Northwest tree Octopus. What an amazing discovery. It appears to be thirty centimeters in length and brownish in color. This species breathes oxygen like a frog and has suction cups to help its legs hold onto the tree.

We have here cephalpodist Dr. Liam Longlegs.

SOT: yes, we are looking at a rare sight today. This tree octopus is rarely seen. The rainforest is particularly moist at this time of year and this Octopus has skin that help it survive this environment.

SOT: Now that it's been spotted, how will it be protected?

Dr: it will be taken to the Greenburgh Nature Center where a special facility has been built in preparation for its arrival. It will be studied by scientists from the NYC area. The tree octopus is a very inquisitive species. We will continue to observe its behavior to find out more. We expect it to be resting in a pool of water.

Soon the public will be able to view this amazing creature. Here on the corner of Old Lyme Road and Weaver Street this is Jen Cheung.
