The real SpongeBob and Patrick were photographed – they were found deep in the sea

During a marine research, an amazing moment was captured: a bright yellow sponge and a pink, five-pointed starfish were resting side by side on the seabed - spitting images of SpongeBob SquarePants and his best friend, Patrick.

Scientists from the National Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) found in their expedition to the bottom of the sea a yellow sponge and a star of the sea. The entry Scientists find the ‘Sponge Bob’ and ‘Star Patricio’ of real life at the bottom of the sea was first published in Teleamazonas.
