Ever wondered what a hippo's behind smells like? The Atoa Aquarium in Kobe, Japan, offers an unconventional educational exhibit where visitors can learn what various animal butts smell like. The aquarium displays framed portraits with holes that release artificially recreated animal butt scents. Here's a video of someone sniffing the portraits (her facial expressions tell you everything you need to know about the smells).
I'm not sure why anyone needs to learn what different animal butts smell like, but the existence of this exhibit is hilarious. The portraits' fancy art-piece framing makes them even funnier. Don't worry about hygiene—the scents are artificial, so breathing them in won't hurt you.
If you're in Kobe looking for a fun place to take kids, an aquarium never disappoints. This particular aquarium would deliver an unforgettable experience thanks to this fragrant exhibit. If you're brave enough to sniff these portraits, make sure to videotape the moment so you can laugh about it later.
