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.
Makes sense. Evolution gives prey animals eyes with as wide a field of vision as possible, so they can detect predators better. Elephants are too large for predators to mess with and so is big bird.
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.)
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.

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"

Look at Animal.

The puppeteer was cleared. Elmo is a serial molester though.

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.

The elephant in the picture though is smaller than a mouse
ThrowawaySobriquet@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 2y
The reference mouse is oversized

But the elephant is also roughly the size of a duck.

And dragons have wide-set eyes in pretty much every depiction. So that brings up the question: What was hunting all the dragons?
Dasnap@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 2y
I'd hope they don't allow predators on set, but we saw what happened at Nickelodeon with Dan Schneider.
