4. A Japanese Aquarium has reported that the Social Distancing is affecting the baby eel community. Workers at Sumida Aquarium, found recently, that upon walking past the Garden Eel exhibit the Eels had been burrowing between the sand to avoid human contact. The managers feel that it has something to do with how people are responding to Social Distancing and that has been frightening the Sea Life. Now the Aquariums managers are looking to have patrons connect them again on a much deeper level. It seems the best thing here for both the eels and all other patrons is to connect with them virtually.

“The disappearance of the Chinese eels made it difficult for the breeding staff to check whether they are doing well, whether they are healthy, are they thin, and are they ill,” a press release said.

The biggest concern is that scientists are finding it increasingly difficult to do their job. To help the eels feel at home again, the aquarium is launching a 3 day emergency event to have us interact with the eels and reintroduce them to human life. Should be fun and you would be doing it for a good cause.
