South Park and The Simpsons are not only nostalgic cartoons but also seem to have inspired some deep-sea creatures that resemble their characters. Take, for example, the Atlantic Stargazer fish that looks like a real-life Homer Simpson. With bulging eyes and a miserable expression, this fish buries itself beneath the sand, waiting for small fish, crabs, and crustaceans to come by. It even uses poison to capture its prey, causing painful swelling, just like Homer’s famous strangle.
Another uncanny creature that resembles a cartoon character is the anemone that looks like South Park’s Kenny McCormick. Roman Fedorsov, a deep-sea fisherman, shared photographs of this creature on Instagram, joking about it looking like Kenny peeking out from his orange jacket. Though it may seem cartoonish, the anemone is a carnivorous animal that paralyzes its prey with its filaments and guides them into its mouth.
Then there’s the octopus that bears an uncanny resemblance to Squidward Tentacles from SpongeBob SquarePants. Filmed by photographer Jonathan Gordon in the Caribbean, this octopus can change its color and texture to blend in with its surroundings, just like Squidward in his slimy blue coat.
The deep-sea, burger-like creature that was shared by Roman Fedorsov could be mistaken for a mutated Big Mac or a dodgy Krabby Patty from SpongeBob SquarePants. While it’s unclear what species this is, some speculate that it may be two sea anemones stuck together.
Believe it or not, there’s even a sea slug that resembles the world-famous Pokémon character, Pikachu. The Thecacera pacifica is a small slug found in the Indian Ocean and western Pacific that exudes toxins to defend itself, similar to Pikachu’s electric shocks.
Lastly, similar to an episode from The Simpsons, a mutated three-eyed catfish was discovered in real life in polluted waters. The fish caught in Gowanus Canal, Brooklyn, had shifted genetics due to pollution. Similar concerns have arisen in Japan due to the release of waste from the Fukushima nuclear power plant into the Pacific Ocean, mirroring another episode of The Simpsons.
In conclusion, these deep-sea creatures resembling cartoon characters add an intriguing twist to the underwater world. Whether they are intentional or coincidental, their resemblance is truly perplexing.
