and copiously defecating, scattering dung up to 2 metres in radius by flapping its tail vigorously.

then slowly wags her tail while defecating. In situations like this, dung-showering is thought to serve as a sign of submission.

a female was bitten on her tail by the lead male. While the tail bite slowed her down

Starfish don't have scales don't have tails and can't swim so they are therefore not fish.

and their tails were curled. They also had floppy ears and barked. Â When I met the bred foxes for the first time one jumped in my arms

when running on soft ground and their tails help them balance as they make sharp high-speed turns

Kangaroo tails are muscular long and thick at the base which helps them balance and turn when they're hopping.

Their thickly padded tail helps them sit for hours in trees. Though koalas generally don't make noise the male has a loud call during breeding season that can be heard about a kilometer away.

They have short tails a hump on the shoulders and large ears they can rotate.

Like other marsupials their tails swell with stored fat. Female devils give birth after about three weeks of pregnancy to 20 or 30 very tiny young called joeys.

Because they store extra fat in their tails unhealthy animals have limp skinny tails. Their name means Harris's meat lover after the scientist who described them.

because they look like house cats with long tails. But the orange-brown olinguito eluded classification by scientists for more than 100 years

The 35-foot (10.6-meter)- long creature was reported to be flapping its tail at the time of the incident

and tail like modern-day sperm cells do). The largest living branch of the mammalian family tree holds the placentals mammals that keep fetuses alive with placentas as opposed to marsupials such as kangaroos

In addition to a furry tail the researchers suggest the four-legged creature likely ate insects weighed from 6 grams (about the weight of some shrews) up to 245 grams less than half a pound

Dinosaurs Waggled Flashy Tails to Woo Mates Feathered dinosaurs might have used muscular tails to shake tail feathers

Oviraptor tails were short but were made of many tailbones with many points between these vertebrae where they could flex.

Stunning Illustrations of Dinosaurs Their tails were not only very very flexible but quite muscular Persons said.

They could not only move them sinuously to strike a pose but also hold it to do a muscular dance with the tail.

Unusually at the very end of the tail in some oviraptors the last few vertebrae were fused actually together to become one solid ridged bladelike structure Persons said.

Peacocks and turkeys use their tail feathers for courtship displays. Past research has suggested that dinosaurs may have evolved first feathers for show not flight.

I think like peacocks oviraptors were strutting their stuff by shaking their tail feathers to show off Persons said.

Between the crested head and feathered-tail shaking oviraptors had a propensity for visual exhibitionism.

Flightless birds such as ostriches and emus don't have big tail-feather fans and birds that do have big tail-feather fans such as peacocks

and turkeys don't try to use them to run at all but just keep them tucked in except

if such tails were typically found in one sex or the other. Maybe they were larger in males as we see in modern-day birds Persons said.

The problem there is that the tip of the tail is one of the rarest parts of a fossil skeleton to find

and monkeys often have tails that let them grab branches). O. bambolii had apelike arms odd teeth with ridges more like a monkey's

#The Amazing Mating Dance of the Peacock Spider The animal dances and lifts up its tail-flap which once unfurled resembles an abstract Indian blanket of intense color.

and tail-docking or the practice of removing the tail. To find out if these experiences affect the animals they split a group of 20 ewes into three groups.

One group had a typical tail-docking experience in which an elastic band is wrapped tightly around the tail cutting off blood supply until the tail falls off There is no anesthesia used during this procedure.

The second group had their tails left intact but were injected with a low dose of E coli bacteria to simulate a mild fever and immune response.

and tail-wagging which can also signal pain in farm animals. Generational effects? The scientists found that ewes with an early traumatic experience of tail-docking

or infection changed positions more often wagged their tails more and had more contractions than ewes left alone in their early days.

Wolverines also have a distinctive mask of dark fur around their eyes and forehead and a stripe of blond or ivory fur that runs from each shoulder to the base of the animal's tail.

Their tail adds another 7 to 10 inches (18 to 25 centimeters) to their length.

and its tail measures from 26.25 to 39.5 inches (67 to 100 centimeters) long. African lions typically weigh 265 to 420 lbs.

Their tails measure 23.62 to 35.43 inches (60 to 90 cm. Male lions are generally larger than females

Tigers also have very long tails which can add 2. 3 to 3. 6 feet (0. 7 to 1. 1 m) to their overall length.

Its tail adds an additional 5 inches (13 cm) to the animal's length. An individual weighs about 3 lbs.

Their waterproof thick fur keeps platypuses warm in chilly temperatures and their big tails store extra fat for energy.

or two eggs and place them between her rump and her tail to keep them warm.

This is due primarily to lack of worldwide research and data on the species. Platypuses swim with their front feet and steer with their tails and back feet.

Habits, Diet & Other Facts Rabbits are small mammals with fluffy short tails whiskers and distinctive long ears.

mutilating animals by cutting their tails horns and genitals off without pain relief; and locking egg-laying hens veal calves and mother pigs in tiny cages for their entire lives.

They are distinguishable from other rodents due to their short tails stubby legs and small ears.

Their vertebrae indicate they swam more like fish using their tails for propulsion with strong fin-shaped forelimbs and vestigial hind limbs.

They had long sinuous necks sharp teeth clawed hands and a long bony tail. Coelophysis fossils found in large numbers in New mexico indicate the animal hunted in packs.

Their bellies usually have a black-and-white checkerboard pattern occasionally with orange accents and two black stripes under the tail.

The vertebrae suggest that L. laticauda had a very broad muscular tail which may have allowed it remarkable control

Unique discovery Diplodocids are famed for their long necks and long tails; the earliest discovered specimens came from the rich Jurassic fossil beds in Colorado.

The tail is really the crown jewel of the specimen Chiappe said. At about 12 inches (0. 3 m) long Changyuraptor had the longest feathers seen outside of birds.

Nature Newsthe sight of a feather in a peacock's tail, Charles darwin wrote in 1860,

Research in which peacocks'tails were plucked experimentally, published online this month in Animal Behaviour1, now suggests that the answer is yes but only sometimes.

They found that males with very few eyespots in their tail feathers a measure of the size of the tail were unattractive to females

Beginning in the 1980s, Marion Petrie, a behavioural ecologist at Newcastle University, UK, examined the role of the peacock's tail in mating rituals.

I think there's clear evidence that peahens use a peacock's tail in their mate choice,

and on average, those with the most eyespots didn't mate any more than males with less extravagant tails.

but is convinced not that the natural variation in the number of eyespots on a tail is so small.

that the mass-market consumer the long tail has been neglected almost completely, says Scott Larson, chief executive of Urthecast.

I dragged his body out of the cave and in a rage deboweled him in front of the other six wolves before cutting off his tail.

me that he was not as good a jumper as a colobus monkey. 2. Great Tailscolobus monkeys have very long tails with delightful poofs at the end of them.

The best-known colobus monkey the mantled guereza (also called the Abyssinian black-and-white colobus) has an enormous poof sometimes taking up most of the length of the tail like a big white bottlebrush.

The mantled guereza uses the tail we think for balance as it jumps back and forth amongst the trees.
