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

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.
