Sumida Aquarium has a problem, so they’re asking the internet for help… via facetime!
"Please remember humans!" reads the title of a recent event announcement from Sumida Aquarium, an aquarium within the shopping and entertainment facilities below TOKYO SKYTREE. Even before Tokyo's state of emergency began in early April, the aquarium had been closed for weeks to prevent the spread of the coronavirus outbreak. This means that while the animals have had plenty of time to relax on their own, they haven't had much interaction with humans in the past couple months, aside from a handful of aquarium keepers. You can see just how empty the aquarium is by taking a look at their regularly updated Twitter account, which includes recent videos of penguins wandering the halls and admiring the animals from the other side of the glass.
