These Photos Of Starfish Butts Will Make Your Day

Why is it so hilarious when animals have human characteristics? Is it because animals are blissfully ignorant of the ways in which they sometimes look like the strangest aspect of us? Or perhaps it’s because they highlight our silliest traits and allow us to be self-deprecating in the midst of so much seriousness. A photo of a big-butted starfish has caught the world’s attention, and not only is it making us laugh, but it’s also helping us learn about often-misunderstood sea creatures.

This was not a typical starfish, however. This cartoon-like being boasted what appeared to be a very large derriere! One glimpse of this takes us back to our childhood when we watched Sponge Bob every weekend and laughed at Patrick's wild antics. Yes, this sure looks like starfish with a big butt. And for some reason that is quite hilarious.
