Apparently some of the stingrays at the new underwater exhibit at The Mall of America were getting stressed out, so the exhibit had to close temporarily.

Unlike a normal exhibit, people were actually able to touch and even feed the sting rays under a controlled environment, but apparently the rays needed a longer transition time to get used to the new surroundings, let alone people touching them too.

The Mall of America has had an aquarium for many ears, but this is a new exhibit. John Sullwold,  who is marketing director of the aquarium has said that when they do open again the sting rays that need more time to adjust will be placed in separate tanks away from the exhibit.
