Daring cuttlefish flees lab tank for freedom of lough

It hasn’t been seen in Strangford Lough for 30 years — and it could be another 30 before it’s spotted again.

Scientists probing the shores of the lough found a tiny cuttlefish not seen since the 1980s, so they decided to hand it to the aquarium at Exploris in Portaferry.

But the intrepid cephalopod made a daring Great Escape, squeezing its way down the drain of the tank where it was being held — and vanished without trace once more into the waters of Strangford Lough — via redwolf.newsvine.com
