An aquarium employee waves a mackerel near a penguin -- but there's no reaction. When she moves the fish closer to its beak, the penguin turns away haughtily. An otter sniffs the fish, then runs away.
(CNN) — An aquarium employee waves a mackerel near a penguin -- but there's no reaction. When she moves the fish closer to its beak, the penguin turns away haughtily. An otter sniffs the fish, then runs away.
For the penguins and otters at Japan's Hakone-en Aquarium, an hour's drive southwest of Tokyo, inflation and rising prices have meant a change in diet -- and the animals are not happy about it.
Before, the aquarium offered penguins and otters "aji," or Japanese horse mackerel, which the animals readily ate.
