SHIMONOSEKI: A lonely ocean sunfish in a Japanese aquarium, which seemed to be missing its human visitors and caretakers during the facility’s closure, has found a surprising source of comfort.
In a post on social media platform X, the Kaikyokan Aquarium, located in the western Japanese city of Shimonoseki, shared a photo of the sunfish gliding past a lineup of staff uniforms with cardboard pictures of human faces attached to them.
