It was at this moment she saw Herbie’s “back legs had gone”. She said: “And he came for me and bit me on the hand. And then my dog was like, ‘no way’ and bit the dog on the butt to say ‘no, you’re not going for her’. And yeah, that was just the end of my dog. “He went down fighting for his mum.

But is crossing your legs actually bad for you? For most people, the answer is probably no. There is little evidence sitting with your legs crossed damages your back, wears out your hips or knees, or causes varicose veins.

Ryan recalled: “Oh my god, you could hear the screaming down the hall. It was like a torture chamber. It was just like… howling!” “I went the other way,” he continued. “I just never went in the shave room. What a name! And the sounds that came out of it I’ll never unhear.” Despite his reluctance to suffer for his art, Ryan won widespread acclaim for his performance as Ken in Greta Gerwig’s movie.

Artist’s reconstruction of Sonselasuchus cedrus in its environment, 215 million years ago Gabriel Ugueto An early relative of crocodiles spent its juvenile years walking on all fours, then stood up on two legs as an adult. Its arm and leg bones grew at different rates to enable this transition. “The forelimb starts out like 75 per cent the length of the hind-limb, and then it ends up being more like 50 [per cent],” says Elliott Armour Smith at the University of Washington in Seattle. The finding adds to evidence that crocodile-like animals in the early dinosaur era were extremely diverse, with some even adopting bodies and lifestyles similar to those of modern ostriches. With Christian Sidor, also at the University of Washington, Armour Smith excavated Kaye Quarry in Petrified Forest National Park in Arizona. It consists of mudstones and sandstones deposited by a river that flowed about 215 million years ago, in the Triassic period. Armour Smith and Sidor found more than 3000 bones belonging to early relatives of crocodiles called shuvosaurids. “It’s a jumbled …
