AI overview

A tail is a flexible, elongated appendage that extends backward from the rear end of an animal's body, found in many vertebrates like deer as well as some invertebrates like scorpions. Tails matter because they serve various functions for animals and represent an important evolutionary feature—even in animals that no longer have visible tails, like humans, vestigial remnants called the coccyx show where a tail once was.
