Tails come in different shapes,sizes, and colours
among different animals and have different uses.
Let's have a look at some uses for animals' tails!
Balance (平衡) Some animals, such as cats and kangaroos,
use their tails for balance. These animals need to use their tails to
help them stand well. They are really useful when these animals
run over bumpy (高低不平的) land or jump from place to place.
3
Protection Many animals use their tails to protect themselves
when they are in danger. For example, some snakes' tails can make
a sound that helps them scare other animals away. A gecko (壁虎)
uses its tail in a different way. If another animal catches it, it will
break the tail off and run away!
Movement Some animals also use tails to help them move. Most
fish use their tails to swim in the water. Monkeys use their tails for
movement too. Besides their arms and feet, they also use their tails
to swing from tree to tree in the forest.
Warmth Some animals actually use their tails to keep warm in
cold weather. Foxes and wolves are two examples. On cold nights,
these animals put their tails around their bodies, kind of like how
people use blankets (毯子).
Communication (交流) Many animals use their tails for
communication. Dogs move their tails from side to side to tell us
something about how they're feeling. Beavers hit (击打) their tails
against the water, making a loud warning (警告的) sound for
other beavers.
