An octopus makes an amazing escape, from the National Aquarium of New Zealand.

Rob Yarrell, the manager of the National Aquarium of New Zealand told CNN:

“Octopus are very intelligent, very inquisitive, and like to push the boundaries. This particular one was very friendly and intelligent and obviously found a weak spot in the top of his tank.”
