Cuvier, Father of Paleontology

A video mnemonic to help people remember why Georges Cuvier is famous in science.

Yes, I was tested on a list of names in Biology. I also remembered Lyell and Hutton were linked with uniformitarianism by having a crocodile (rhymes with Lyell) wearing a football uniform with LYELL on the back and he yelled "HUT!" ON the field.

Lyell, Lyell crocodile
Playing football by the Nile
"Hut, Hut!" Now it's time to play.
Wearing uniforms all day

Thank you!

Here's a fun fact: I originally misspelled the name and discovered it AFTER I had completed the video. I had to redo every screen so it would be spelled right. Whoops! Now I double check EARLY!
