Don't think octopi are nature's greatest escape artists? Think again.

This video comes to us from Alaska, and the folks at MillerLandingAK.com, where a group of fishermen caught an octopus and decided to let it roam the deck of the boat.

The fishermen thought the deck was secure enough to let the octopus slide around, but the octopus had different ideas. It found an incredibly tiny hole in the side of the boat and finagled its way back into the water.

The video is entitled 'Octopus Intelligence' for a reason. This may be the smartest sea creature alive.
