Stargate Blue Hole And Sponges

Jonathan joins a veteran cave explorer to plumb the crystal clear water in the depths of Stargate Blue Hole. Segment 2: Sponges. A sponge might not look like much, but these simple animals with no brain or ability to move have lived on Earth for hundreds of millions of years. They can hunt prey and spawn, and Jonathan demonstrates how in this fascinating segment!
