A closed Japanese aquarium due to the Covid-19 epidemic, has devised a solution to restore its aquatic animals to humans, as those responsible for the aquarium have invited the public to send videos showing them talking about the fish remotely.

The Sumida Aquarium in the Tokyo Sky Tower in the Japanese capital is still closed to visitors due to the outbreak of the new Corona virus, which led to some species showing human fear.

"The creatures in the basin no longer see human beings with the exception of the guards, and they have begun to forget their presence," he wrote through his Twitter account.

He explained that "eel fish are hiding in the sand whenever they see the guards pass by," which poses a problem in following up their health status.

These small fish live in sandy hills and are naturally afraid of other creatures. However, the nearly 300 eels in the Sumida basin were accustomed to visitors, and they were rarely avoided.

The situation prompted the Aquarium to organize the faces festival by asking the public to send home videos of eels through mobile applications.
