Sit (four legs)

An animal on four legs sits: its back legs fold under it and its hips go down, its front legs straight, its head up, its tail on the ground behind.

What it is for

An animal sitting and waiting. It is what Sit down plays on four legs.

The principle it shows: the back end pivots down

An animal sits by tipping its body back over its front legs: the front legs stay straight while the hips swing down and the back legs fold beside them. The head comes up to stay level as the body tilts.

      glide tail 30 over 0.55 s (out)
  wait 0.65 s

0 s — torso 0, back legs 0, shins 0, head 0, tail 0.
0.25 s — back legs 50, shins 70.
0.55 s — torso 48, back legs 90, shins 180, head 26, tail 30.

Try this

Slow the back legs folding from 0.25 s to 0.4 s: a slower sit.
In the program: ramp · over 0.25 → 0.4
Fold the back legs to 65 degrees instead of 50 on the way down: a deeper bend.
In the program: ramp · to.part:leg:-1#0 50 → 65

How it differs from the others

Lie down brings the whole body to the ground; Paw wave sits and then lifts a paw.

Works on

The two in the film above, and what the move turns on each: worked out by the build, which plays the move on each body and checks what moves. Nobody types this table.
Who	Moves?	What moves
Sunny (one of the six people)	yes	turns, body, head, arms, legs
Grump (an animal on four legs)	yes	body, head, front legs, back legs, tail, ears
