Sesame Street can't claim copyright infringement on this, seeing as how it was formed about 50 million years before the first episode aired.

So one day, some geologist get a diamond saw and cuts open a small Thunder Egg, and look who was there--the Cookie Monster twins!

Stanford University zoology building - 1906 - Statue of Jean Louis Agassiz



Jean Louis Agassiz (1807-1873) is regarded as one of the greatest scientists of the 19th century. A founding father of the modern American scientific establishment, Agassiz was also a lifelong opponent of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution. Agassiz "ruled in professorial majesty at Harvard’s Museum of Comparative Zoology."

[He] was a brilliant….man, an essentialist who detested evolutionism—Darwin's brand in particular—and clung to a vision of well-ordered nature assembled by special creations. The zoology of Agassiz was consonant with the natural theology of William Paley.
