The Sumida Aquarium in Japan is looking for volunteers to Facetime with their eels so that they remain interactive with humans. They say the eels have started to forget humans. They are burrowing themselves in the sand to hide when staff pass their tank. That's a concern because it makes it hard for the staff to check on the eels' well-being.

The aquarium is holding a "Face Show Festival" from Sunday May 3 to Tuesday May 5, where it will install iPads near the tank. They hope people will call in via FaceTime from their Apple devices to keep the eels familiar with humans.

If you want to take part, the event happens each day, Sunday May 3 to Tuesday May 5, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tokyo time.
To dial in, open the FaceTime app and enter one of these addresses below, to reach one of the tablets set up near the tank. Then press "Video."


Facetime me, Facetime me
