The media produced the situation of chicken and eggs. It reminds me of the panda's thumb line. Stephen Jay Gould stated to Samuel Butler that he said that chicken is the way to make another egg.

First, let's consider the example discussed by Biologist Stephen J. Gould in his book "The Panda's Thumb" (W. W. Norton, 1980). Pandas are vegetarians; bamboo shoots are almost the only things they eat. Panda removes the bamboo by running a branch between its nails and looks like a thumb. However, if you look closely it is clear that this thumb can not be counted. Instead, the thumb is a spur protruding from the panda's wrist. This device for making bamboo is very clumsy. For experienced engineers, designing a better thumb for the panda is not a big challenge. If you allow God to perfectly adapt to their way of life, it is why puzzle equipment is so terrible. However, the assumption that the giant panda is closely related to the carnivorous bear makes it possible for us to understand why the giant pandas have such strange tools on their wrists.
