National Animals list for all the Country, National Symbols of French Polynesia.

Kupe defeated the octopus by tricking him into wrapping his tentacles around some water containers and killed it with a blow to the head. The study by Matisoo-Smith and Robins cited above, like so many genetic studies of late, focussed on the ultimate rather than immediate origins of Polynesians, so a change of focus is needed to address this problem which, especially, should set aside any preconceived ideas that this necessarily involved Lapita potters.
In particular, as rats have been converging on Polynesia from all directions for longer than any other domestic animal, and have doubtless interbred, a highly complex web of interrelationships can be expected, and evidence for the proximate origin of Polynesians could be obscured.
