So they admit there are predatory Muppets.
I reacted the same when I found out that Teletubbies are actually babies, implying that there are mature, adult Teletubbies that we don’t see.
I believe the proper name is “Teletuborians”
Cookie monster is definitely a predator.
It used to be more obvious than it is now.
Look at Animal.
They keep him drugged up, and he’s still barely controlled. Without the darts every 3 hours, he’d tear everyone else to shreds just to feed the hunger within him.

Cleared by the statute of limitations…
The puppeteer was cleared. Elmo is a serial molester though.
Well the Count is a vampire…
The world, too…
One second has passed, ah ah ah.
Two seconds have passed, ah ah ah.The world, too…
Set to drai-ii-aaa-ii-aaa-aaa-in.
Time will now resume!
Predators have forward-facing eyes.
Muppets have forward-facing eyes.
The science is clear.
Big bird has forward facing eyes, which is usually the mark of a predator.
Elefants have them too!
I’m sure there is an exception for creatures made from fabric and foam, somewhere.
I had to go look it up. Not sure that picture is accurate, mind, it’s the only one I could find. (Though lots of comments about herds being led by a blind elephant…. I’m sure there’s a joke in there.)
Maybe it evolved from a predatory ancestor and didn’t get selected for different position of the eyes?
We know from Big Bird’s extended family that his species has a wide spread of individual variation, and given that none of them reside in the wild none of them are likely to suffer predation due to what would otherwise be a mal-adaptation, providing a springboard for even more genetic variation from generation to generation.
Just look at how wildly different looking specific humans can be from one another, even within a single community.
And dragons have wide-set eyes in pretty much every depiction. So that brings up the question: What was hunting all the dragons?
I’d hope they don’t allow predators on set, but we saw what happened at Nickelodeon with Dan Schneider.
Oscar the Grouch is a scavenger.
That’s what he wants you to think…
Oscar is a form of Trapdoor Spider. He blends in with his environment until unsuspecting prey is near, then hauls them into his den to consume at his leisure.
That honestly fits Big Bird’s personality.
