Umitamago, an aquarium in Oita Prefecture, is running <\/span>a crowdfunding project<\/span><\/a> to feed its sea animals. Umitamago, which is home to about 15,000 fish and animals, has seen a reduced number of visitors during the past months under the impact of the new coronavirus spread. To secure its annual feeding budget of some \u00a540 million, funds have been sought from Nov. 21. Unique rewards, including ottar handprints (\u00a515,000~), penguin foot-printed T-shirts (*made from actual footprints! \u00a520,000~), and more, have attracted people’s attention, and the project has raised over \u00a59 million as of Dec. 22. <\/span>Source:<\/b> Umitamago<\/span><\/a> \/ <\/span>Oita Press<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n
