• A sunfish at the Kaikyokan Aquarium in Shimonoseki, Japan, has a new lease on life -- or at least, new "friends" to share it with.
The New York Post reported that the sunfish, who is the sole occupant of its tank, became depressed and stopped eating after the aquarium closed for renovations.
"One of the staff members said, 'Maybe it's lonely because it misses the visitors,'" said an aquarium worker.
"We attached uniforms of the staff members to the tank with a little bit of hope. Then, the next day, it was in good health again!"
Workers say the sunfish tracks the uniforms and face cutouts with its eyes as it swims by, and those still in the building wave to it every time they pass the tank.
