The great escape: Inky the octopus legs it to freedom from aquarium
Staff believe the common New Zealand octopus fled its enclosure when
lid was left ajar and headed to freedom down a pipe that leads to the sea

Keep going, Inky, and never look back.

My favorite sea creature is the octopus. They are very intelligent and fascinating! Way to go Inky!

Bumping merely to let Inky inspire. Stuck in the doldrums? Be Like Ink: escape!

Any postcards yet from Inky?

LOL. Save me a reservation if you plan an excursion to visit Inky.

This album would have been even better with Inky producing.

("Eight Arms to Hold You" was also the working title of the Beatles' second film, "Help.")

Thanks for sharing it is amazing to think of how he managed this it doesn't seem logical that he could fit down a pipe that size. I didn't realise how intelligent they were.

Is it wrong that I smile every time this thread gets bumped and shows up on the main, front page??

I didnt realize how intelligent octopi (is that correct?) were either. Fascinating really!

Regrettably, there are no news updates, Inky apparently having opted for "me time" away from the social swirl.
