Hollywood movies are well known for their sometimes less than realistic stories. For example, Dory suffers from short term remembering loss,while several studies have shown that fish in fact, do have a working memory. They can remember things for up to 5 months! But sometimes reality surprises even the movie industry…
In Finding Dory, Dory and the octopus Hank escape an aquarium. Meanwhile in New Zealand, another octopus decided to be a copycat. Inky managed to escape the New Zealand’s National Aquarium by squeezing its body through a small slit in the tank’s lid and then through a very narrow discharge pipe into the ocean, despite Inky being the size of an American football.
We hope Inky enjoys his new freedom. Are you wondering if perhaps a Blue Tang went missing from the aquarium as well?
