Who is Lyle Zapato? After careful evaluation of his website and an extensive research into his background I began to realize that the character is a fetishes creation from some unknown person or persons. The website boosts to be a site for paranormal or unusual wildlife,but to me it is a site for those who exist in a paranoid state of mind. I will try to give you a brief description (if possible) of this person and his websites intentions.
According to several search queries Lyle Zapato is the author of this website. The E-mail address (lyle@zapatopi.net) is a documented web address, but it cannot be access or has been blocked (flaged).
His qualifications for the most part claims that he is a Washigton base cartoonist and publisher. This of course could not be confirmed. As far as I learned he has no experience as a wildlife expert or activist. Of course his homepage claims that he has an MA in psychothermo dynamics from Keninic University, but this information too is phoney. So this character - I will call him that because that is all that it is - cannot be considered an expert on anything. I researched for any other information on this character, but only stumbled on links that had complaints or negative comments about him and the webpage.
The publisher of the webpage is listed as "Osama Haliburton" and that it was published on October 10th, 2007. Again the publisher also is a fraudulent character. I couldn't even find a website for this publisher. Now according to the publishers stated purpose - taking note that this is all a fruad - it is a source for conspiracy theories and other maligned diversions. This statement can be considered an appropiate statement since that is what the webpage conveys. Other sources claim that this publisher, as I stated earlier is a phoney. I did not find any current updates on the page
The realibility of the webpage is not well documented and could not be substantuated by any expert or professional institution. There were no bibliography or reliable sources to confirm his claims on the supposed "Tree Octupus". The only people I can think of that would link to such a site are probably conspiracy theorist or people with paranoia problems. I think that the page was design for entertainment purposes and should not be taken seriously.
In conclusion I would warn anyone who enters this site to not take its contents seriously because it is a phoney website. Do Not Trust It!
