This is a tree octopus which is supposedly endangered and could go extinct.
Right away you can see a photoshopped picture — an octopus on a tree. You can tell it is fake since octopuses need water to survive, how would they survive on a tree?

This is another example. This time it is sarcastic and has no intentions of upsetting people yet rather to make fun of the person seen.

How to behave
When seeing news, you should not share it right away if you do not know if it is true. Follow the steps given on this site to know if it is fake. If you know that the news is fake, do not share it, especially when it is about political views or any other socially important topics. The more emotional or dramatic a message is, the more frequently it is shared. This is why it is so important not to participate but to stay calm instead.
