The Orville - Kermit puppet on Ed Mercers desk?

[edit]

I'm curious if the well-known Kermit puppet on the desk of Captain Ed Mercer in the sci-fi series The Orville would be worth mentioning. Hs-mbn (talk) 08:47, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Removing Osama bin Laden

[edit]

{{Edit semi-protected}}

The first line of the article says Kermit's name is Osama bin Laden. This should be removed unless it's somehow true, in which case a source should be added. The first sentence of the article should read: "Kermit the Frog is a Muppet character created and originally performed by Jim Henson." 129.15.64.226 (talk) 20:15, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yup, just lame vandalism. Fixed. Thanks for reporting it! DMacks (talk) 20:44, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Adding Jane Henson as a performer

[edit]

I discovered this while watching the documentary "Jim Henson: Idea Man" On Disney+, but a clip shows footage of Jane Henson and Jim Henson together recording clips for Sam and Friends, in which Jane is performing Kermit, and then says "this is Kermit," showing it was the same character.

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Toughpigs (talk) 18:19, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Kermit's fly eating habitat

[edit]

Hi there. I was wondering if we could add something about Kermit's fly eating habitat to this article. I don't think I ever saw Kermit eat a fly before. If someone replies, can they just show me a cool picture of Kermit eating a fly. Thank You. 2605:B100:143:3B0F:C012:DCAA:79F8:D5AE (talk) 02:01, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I would like to make this edit request to add information about Kermitops, a Fossil named after Kermit the Frog with this really good source I found on CNN https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/21/world/prehistoric-amphibian-fossil-kermit-the-frog-scn/index.html here's what the text goes like. Kermitops is a fossil named after the Muppet Kermit the Frog. The fossil was first uncovered in 1984 by the late Nicholas Hotton III, a museum paleontologist who had excavated fossils from the Red Beds in Texas, an area known to be rich in Permian-age remains. Researchers unearthed a large cache at the site, including the remains of ancient reptiles, amphibians and synapsids, the precursors to mammals. The resulting collection included so many finds, paleontologists could not study a number of the specimens, including the newly named Kermitops. That changed in 2021, when the skull caught the eye of Mann, a postdoctoral fellow at the time, who was sifting through the Texas collection to see whether any notable specimens had been overlooked. “Not only was (the skull) well-prepared by somebody, but it had features that distinguished it from anything else in the group that I’d ever seen,” Mann said. In early 2023, Calvin So, lead author of the new paper and a doctoral student at George Washington University, began to study the skull for a doctoral paper. Kermitops is not classified as a frog because the prehistoric amphibian does not share all the same traits and anatomy found in modern frogs, So said. But the researchers determined the specimen is from the group temnospondyls, which are believed to be the most common ancestor of all lissamphibians — a category that includes frogs, salamanders and caecilians, Mann added. The researchers noted several features that the ancient amphibian shares with its modern-day relatives, including a similar location for the eardrum at the back of the skull, a small opening between the nostrils that produces a sticky mucus to help frogs catch their prey, and even evidence of bicuspid, pedicellate teeth that are unique to amphibians and are found in most modern amphibian species. I would appreciate It if you would accept this edit request. Thank You. 50.100.44.234 (talk) 01:07, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely not. Toughpigs (talk) 01:42, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done Most of this isn't actually about Kermit the Frog and doesn't belong in the article. The article already mentions Kermitops, which is sufficient to understand how it relates to Kermit. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 05:12, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
