This is going to blow your mind but not all animals have tails.

What a lot of people don’t realize is that most people are born with tails and they just cut it off at the hospital

Grab an alligator by the tail and get back with us on why it has one.

It's part of mammalian evolution. We had a tiny one in our embryonic growth. But we are bipeds and it would get in the way when we walk so we lost it.

They evolved tails because they helped with balance. We lost ours when we started walking upright

Medicaid stopped paying for tail removal in babies back in 2021 to save money

That's what I said three posts up from yours. Did you steal my idea? And I was joking about being bipedal. Look at kangaroos. And they can lean back on that tail and kick arse in a fight.

Because it is a trait some humans have, only in the US.
