Residents of Bikini Bottom with Cabrillo Marine Aquarium

We know that sea sponges don’t really wear pants or live in a pineapple under the sea, but did you know they are covered in tiny pores that filter water for food and oxygen? Or that some sea stars turn their stomachs inside out to feed? Join Museum Educator Justin Ramos and Jim DePompei, Program Director at Cabrillo Marine Aquarium, as they dive deeper into the real-life marine critters that inspired Bikini Bottom favorites like SpongeBob, Patrick Star, Squidward, Mr. Krabs and Plankton. Plus, get a special look at some of these animals up close in their underwater habitats. Are ya ready, kids?
