The location of any head-to-head is of course also crucial. “If it’s on a tennis court or something, I think the money’s got to be on the crocodile,” jokes Adam Kay.Although as embryos we all have tails, these disappear at around seven weeks gestation, leaving behind just our coccyx. The full-blown tail has not been a thing for a good 20+ million years, since we diverged from our monkey friends, Adam Kay explains.
However, Steve Backshall argues that this backwards facing ankle does in fact make it hard for birds to jump forwards. Birds with long legs can leap straight up, and leap “backwards beautifully” but if they’re going forwards, they’ll do it with an elongated neck rather than with a leap. “Forwards is harder because of that anatomy.”In the case of most animals, their danger to us is “massively overstated”, says Steve Backshall.
Humans might sweat more than other animals because our ancestors did a lot of long-distance hunting, suggests Steve. “That ability to be able to regulate your body temperature over long pursuits of other animals could be one of the reasons why we do sweat in the way that we do, when a lot of other animals don’t.”
