What can you tell from old examples of animal teeth?
A lot apparently, so much so, that Leeds City Museum have opened a new exhibit dedicated to showing off the "animal kingdom’s biggest and best biters".

Skeleton fans will be excited to learn that you can also see the skulls of an 11,000 year-old brown bear, a dolphin and an Atlantic walrus complete with long, canine tusks.

Strong winds are expected across Yorkshire later today.

Gusts of 65-75mph possible tonight and in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
The wind warning goes as far north as Bradford, and will include Leeds and Sheffield as being the worst places hit.

Huddersfield Town "deserved the defeat" after losing 2-0 at West Ham on Monday - their first loss since being back in the top flight - says Terriers boss David Wagner
The Terriers had enjoyed an excellent start to their maiden Premier League season winning two and drawing one.
Perhaps the international break came at a bad time, because they put in their worst performance of the fledgling season.
This is what Wagner has to say:
Two men, including one from Dewsbury, who raped and sexually assaulted a woman in a "truly horrific attack" have been jailed.
Image source, Lancashire PoliceWilliam Kelly (pictured right), 46, of Beechfield Avenue, Blackpool, met the victim in a bar in the town in April 2016 where he raped her.
Kelly then took the woman back to a hotel with Steven Williams, 49, who also raped and sexually assaulted her.
Williams (pictured left), of The Combs in Dewsbury, who denied all the charges, was jailed for 13 and a half years. Kelly, who pleaded guilty, was sentenced to 12 years.
