When Inky the octopus made his great escape through the tank's drainpipe, he didn't even leave behind a note. npr.org/2016/04/16/474412283…

Maybe I can be a backup dancer for @katyperry. I'm a way better dancer than @leftshark #InkyTheOctopus

Inky is my hero nytimes.com/2016/04/14/world…
Had to get out of that tank so I could join @TMobile. Cell reception was awful in there #InkyTheOctopus teapawt.org/JohnLegere/status/7205…

Inky set himself free!!! #talent wapo.st/1TS6BJW

Octopus slips out of aquarium tank, crawls across floor, escapes down pipe to ocean

Inky evidently decided a life in captivity wasn't for him.
