Certain Octopus species have evolved to living out of water for much of their lives. Check this type of octopus out.  

p.s. Read the site very carefully. ;-)

You know, it might be a lot of fun to do as this website suggests and write to one's congressman, encouraging him to prevent the loss of breeding habitat for the endangered Tree Octopus. See what kind of response you get.

"...reach an average size (measured from arm-tip to mantle-tip,) of 30-33 cm..."

Good God! Those things are creeping around in trees? That would make it a good 2-3 feet from tip to tip!

I must admit...the site seems to be edited and maintained by the kind of people I generally try to avoid. But interesting nonetheless! Thanks!
