Octopus EscapesSome people keep octopuses in tanks as pets. Apparently this can be problematic. Many people report octopus escapes!
I found an article from ABC news about an octopus who escaped from New Zealand aquarium. The report says it survived for five days on the run before the aquarium staff found it dashing for the door! The good news is they decided to release it into the wild! Here is a link to the *article* please ask a parent or teacher to view it first as the site has links to the latest news. Photo credit and special thanks to Marah McAleer for this great shot of an octopus in an aquarium tank.... this is not the one that got away.
