The Unlikely Twin of Science and Sesame Street The discovery of Solenostomus snuffleupagus has sent ripples through both the scientific community and fans of classic children's television.
This tiny orange fish bears a striking resemblance to Mr. Snuffleupagus, the lovable but shaggy Sesame Street character. However, beneath its cute exterior lies a predator just as formidable as any other in the ocean.
Scientists David Harasti and Graham Short have been working on confirming the existence of S. snuffleupagus since 2003, when they first spotted it.
