Wikipedia Wiktionary dictionary logo

  • The tail is the section at the rear end of an animal's body; in general, the term refers to a distinct, flexible appendage to the torso. It is the part of the body that corresponds roughly to the sacrum and coccyx in mammals and birds. While tails are primarily a feature of vertebrates, some invertebrates including scorpions and springtail, as well as snails and slugs, have tail-like appendages that are sometimes referred to as tails.
