+wolfgirl5550125 I confess a longstanding prejudice against animals with no tail. It just didn't seem right! Recently however I realized that many worthy animals have NO TAIL - including HUMANS! I have NO TAIL. People I meet HAVE NO TAIL! NOTHING at all. A tail to be sure is a Badge of Honor, as well as a solid fashion statement. If we did have tails we could have special fashions and magazines devoted to adorning the tail and other niceties. It would be perfect! But I must renounce my discrimination here and now against those that don't sport a tail. It's blatantly unfair and I'm somewhat remorseful of all the years I had this bottled up. Bring on your pigs and hamsters! They may be short a tail but can also be a great stabilizing influence in hard times. Forge ahead!
I would love to have a tail of my own that I could have full-control over. Imagine how fun it would be to have one!!! Scientists need to mutate our DNA so that we can have cool, long, and fully-operable tails. Some think it would be weird and gross, but I'd enjoy it!!!
The small hole for the tail would not show your butthole... the tail itself would occupy the whole thoroughly, how would people be able to see the anus? Heck, the tail itself can cover the butthole without pants even.
I guess so Darwin. Afterall, growing up in the 90s, there were two main video game systems. Me being one of the many who grew up with the better one; I know of a story like this; Once a pond of them, there was a fox born with two tails, he was considered a freak. But thanks to a suggestion from his idol; a speedy dude with an attitude, the fox learned to used to his tails to fly . . . Not only does he fly, but can use his tails as melee whips. Every fox who called him a freak are now jealous, lol XD
if I had a tail it would make me feel like a neko and I would be able to show my emotions with it like if I'm happy for example I would wag my tail it would be so awesome if I had one of my own😄
Exactly... a tail could be used for a lot of things. Watch this video to find out what they are... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IF5ZKHEDcq0.html
The coccyx is not a "vestigial organ". Ligaments, Tendons and muscles all connect to this bone structure. Without the coccyx we wouldn't be able to properly sit or stand. You would greatly disable and disadvantage a person if you were to remove their coccyx.
It gets measurably worse. They can still walk fine, but more athletic motion becomes harder to control. If you look at slow motion footage of cats maneuvering in the air, you'll see the value of their tail.
The answer to your question will become apparent if you see Auguste Rodin's sculpture "The Thinker", which shows that, when our ancestors developed the ability to think, they found it easier to do so while sitting on a rock, thereby wearing out their tails.
"We don't need them" Speak for yourself sister I'd find many uses for my tail, like holding my mug of coffee while I use my hands for something else or reaching those hard spots while showering.
We could have monkey tails.. I would always use my tail to hold a cup or something. I'd hold food with my tail, definitely. Or a small pet. If it was strong enough.
I can imagine how would it be if humans had tails. For example: I go to school. While walking through corridors, someone comes behind me and pulls my tail. And so does everyone to each other. That would be weird
This video didn't explain HOW we lost our tail during our evolution. We walk on 2 legs so we didn't need a tail for balancing ourselves, but did it actually hurt our balance causing individuals with tails to survive less? Apes don't have tails either and they don't stand on 2 legs...?
Here's the truth on tail bones. The “tail bone” is the small triangular bone at the lower end of your back bone or vertebral column. Early anatomists thought it was shaped “like a cuckoo’s beak” they gave it the name coccyx (from the Latin for Cuckoo). They didn’t call it a tail because it doesn’t look like one. It’s nickname of “tail bone” came from Darwin and his followers who believed it was the useless or vestigial remains of a tail, left over from monkey-like evolutionary ancestors. However, this bone is no more useless than any other bone in the body. So what does it do? One of our editors found the answer the hard way when he tore the ligaments attached to his’ tail bone’ whilst doing sports training. He writes about the experience: “ I knew something was badly wrong when I could only walk by shuffling each leg forward using my upper body strength. If I was standing up, that’s where I preferred to stay. It was too painful to try and sit down. If I was sitting down, I didn’t want to get up - shifting position was exquisite agony.” Medical research has shown that the muscles which help us sit or stand, all gain their ability to move us only because they are attached to our fully functional and necessary so called ‘tail bone’ which of course means that human beings do not actually have a useless or even vestigial “tail bone”! The coccyx is fully functional part of the system of bones, ligaments and muscles of the pelvis, that protects and supports the pelvic organs, and contributes to our upright stance and walking. It provides stable anchorage points for ligaments and muscles which is an essential function of all bones. Without this - we don’t move. Bones must never be considered in isolation, since they are part of an integrated musculoskeletal system that supports and protects body organs, and enables us to move. The claim that the tail bone or coccyx is useless, and therefore must be evidence for evolution, as well as evidence against creation, (because no intelligent Creator would make useless organs) is claim made out of ignorance. The human musculo-skeletal system shows all the evidence of brilliant creation. Consider how much clever engineering has already gone into attempts to make a robot that can walk like a human. When robot scientists do manage this it will be because of intelligent, creative design and engineering, not because of chance random processes.
They could get anoyinng in some situations, for example when you sit in a chair or if you want to wear pants, dresses or skirts(idk of your a girl or a boy), where would you put your tail?
What in the fuck why would you do that to yourself also you realize they had to take a living wolf and cut ITs tale off to give it to you ALSO im not calling you a liar but I AM that would be impossible the body would reject the tail
We need tale to make balance because when we are running in speed we can't take immediate turn left or right like other animals such as lions tigers, they can take turns easily in speed
Are you serious? What's so bad about wanting a tail, many people want one and they are not even Furrys. And even if they where Furrys that wouldn't affect your Life at all.
I just wanna know why tails went away. I thought traits only go away if it inhibits the creature in some way preventing it from passing on its genes so certain traits are lost to the passage of time. so why did our ancestors with tails fuck up and die while our ancestors who were evolving to loose them didnt? what the heck was the difference?
i dont have a biological tail (duh lol) so i really want to make a cyberpunk style tail prosthetic that you can at the very least control and hopefully feel
Aren't tails used on animals also to cut off a poop cleanly some way ? My cat poops very cleanly and the has no problems with a mess. I hate having to wipe my ass. Animals seem better equipped in this category.
I know that we don't need to swing from the trees anymore (sadly) but, cats also have tails not only for balance but if they're mad they flick their tails sharply to show that emotion so clearly they have tails also to show their emotions. Yes humans can talk but what happens lets say you can't talk and your really upset so you desperately want to tell someone. So why not wag your tail to show that??? It kind of doesn't make sense. In fact it makes me wonder " Can we surgecly get a tail? " Probably not but if we could could we make a medicine so that our spine can grow to fit our tails? It all leads up to a bunch of different questions that I as a child cannot just answer but I have hope that It could happen.
As the endurance hunter type that we once were, as in we used to run down our prey before we made spears and arrows, a tail would be amazing for its homeostasis properties, as in a tail would help cool us off, much like it does with rats. But I suppose our fur disappeared too quickly so our heat issues werent that important due to sweat glands. So why dont humans have tails, because we sweat. You are welcome Dnews
true story; my parents told me I was found in a spaceship with a monkey tail. But they cut it off to prevent me from transforming when I look at a full moon. Dragon Ball had not came out in the west. My parents wouldn't watch it anyways. But imagine my surprise. It kinda explains why I obsess over eating and working out.
The name of the disease that causes you to have a tail at birth is called spinal bifida and it’s genetic, runs in my family. My dad and step sister were both born with small tails. Takes a long time to heal from the surgery to get it removed.
So many people talking about how cool it would be to have a tail, but honestly, it wouldn't. As a child, you would probably get teased for it, and as an adult, you would only be able to wag the stubby little thing, and that's if you're lucky.
***** The pressure of death is required to impose such adaptations. The evolution of modern humanity ended with the Neanderthals. Technology replaces the need for further biological developments.
My mother feeds and takes care of some farel cats... They got a mutation where they have no tales!! I have a cat with no tale at all!! And she acts normal other than a little wobble, yes she is from the colony, we reaped her when she was 7 weeks old and I tamed her. She is a beautiful grey target tabby with green eyes, she is very very small.
