Aquarium near Tokyo showing plants, aquatic animals that look like rabbits NHK

An aquarium near Tokyo is showcasing life forms whose shapes remind people of this year's zodiac symbol, the rabbit.

Ten kinds of such plants and aquatic animals are on display at Enoshima Aquarium in Fujisawa City, Kanagawa Prefecture.

They include mollusks called sea hares, whose tentacles look like rabbit ears.

The display also includes rabbitfish with bunny-like faces and Rabbit Snails with two long tentacles.

One visitor says she enjoyed looking at many creatures with what look like rabbit ears.

A keeper at the aquarium says sea hares and rabbitfish eat plants just like rabbits do. She says she hopes visitors will pay attention to not only their appearance, but also their eating habits.

The display will run until January 23.
