Thanks to Hank the Octopus from Finding Dory, audiences are learning more about these crafty creatures and their talents for camouflage and escape. For example, one clever octopus escaped from a zoo’s aquarium and evaded capture for three days by posing as a family of lemurs.

You’ll stop when I’m good and ready! And where’s that waiter with my drink?
“Brothers and sisters! And I ask of each and every one of you, on that glorious day of judgement, will you be counted? Is your tail clean and free of sin, or has it dangled in the fetid swamp waters of iniquity? Today you may leap carefree from tree to tree, but are you ready to make that final leap — that leap of faith? Hall-leh-loo-yuh!”
